Linux kernel source tree

ALSA OSS sequencer refers to a global variable max_midi_devs at creating a new port, storing it to its own field. Meanwhile this variable may be changed by other sequencer events at snd_seq_oss_midi_check_exit_port() in parallel, which may cause a data race. OTOH, this data race itself is almost harmless, as the access to the MIDI device is done via get_mdev() and it's protected with a refcount, hence its presence is guaranteed. Though, it's sill better to address the data-race from the code sanity POV, and this patch adds the proper spinlock for the protection.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
