Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 033/196] ALSA: timer: Fix link corruption due to double start or stop

3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit f784beb75ce82f4136f8a0960d3ee872f7109e09 upstream.

Although ALSA timer code got hardening for races, it still causes
use-after-free error.  This is however rather a corrupted linked list,
not actually the concurrent accesses.  Namely, when timer start is
triggered twice, list_add_tail() is called twice, too.  This ends
up with the link corruption and triggers KASAN error.

The simplest fix would be replacing list_add_tail() with
list_move_tail(), but fundamentally it's the problem that we don't
check the double start/stop correctly.  So, the right fix here is to
add the proper checks to snd_timer_start() and snd_timer_stop() (and
their variants).
