==================================================================
There are a couple of problems that I can see:
- ioctl(SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_SELECT), which potentially sets
tu->queue/tu->tqueue to NULL on memory allocation failure, so read()
would get a NULL pointer dereference like the above splat
- the same ioctl() can free tu->queue/to->tqueue which means read()
could potentially see (and dereference) the freed pointer
We can fix the NULL pointer dereference by not touching the pointers
until we have allocated the new memory (similar to what is done in
ioctl(SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS)) and we can fix the use-after-free by
taking the ioctl_lock mutex when dereferencing ->queue/->tqueue, since
that's always held over all the ioctl() code.
Just looking at the code I find it likely that there are more problems
here such as tu->qhead pointing outside the buffer if the size is
changed concurrently using SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS.
