ALSA PCM OSS layer calls the generic __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() helper for the actual transfer of the audio data. The xfer helper may sleep long for waiting for the enough space becoming empty for read/write, and it does unlock/relock for the substream lock. This works fine, so far, but a slight problem specific to OSS layer is that OSS layer wraps yet more mutex (runtime->oss.params_lock) over __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() call; so this mutex is still locked during a possible long sleep, and it prevents the whole ioctl and other actions applied to the given stream. This patch adds the temporarily unlock and relock of the mutex around __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() call in the OSS layer to be more friendly to the concurrent accesses. The long mutex protection itself shouldn't be a real issue for the normal systems, and its influence appears only on strange things like fuzzers.

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.
