From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: soc-compress: Reposition and add pcm_mutex

If panic_on_warn is set and compress stream(DPCM) is started,
then kernel panic occurred because card->pcm_mutex isn't held appropriately.
In the following functions, warning were issued at this line
"snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held".

static int dpcm_be_connect(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe,
		struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *be, int stream)
{
	...
	snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
	...
}

void dpcm_be_disconnect(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int stream)
{
	...
	snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
	...
}

void snd_soc_runtime_action(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *rtd,
			    int stream, int action)
{
	...
	snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(rtd);
	...
}

int dpcm_dapm_stream_event(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int dir,
	int event)
{
	...
	snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
	...
}

These functions are called by soc_compr_set_params_fe, soc_compr_open_fe
and soc_compr_free_fe
without pcm_mutex locking. And this is call stack.

So, I reposition and add pcm_mutex to resolve lockdep error.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
