From f0654ba94e33699b295ce4f3dc73094db6209035 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 19:58:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ALSA: seq: Protect in-kernel ioctl calls with mutex" This reverts commit feb689025fbb6f0aa6297d3ddf97de945ea4ad32. The fix attempt was incorrect, leading to the mutex deadlock through the close of OSS sequencer client. The proper fix needs more consideration, so let's revert it now.
