[ Upstream commit2759caad26] Recently we applied a fix to cover the whole OSS sequencer ioctls with the mutex for dealing with the possible races. This works fine in general, but in theory, this may lead to unexpectedly long stall if an ioctl like SNDCTL_SEQ_SYNC is issued and an event with the far future timestamp was queued. For fixing such a potential stall, this patch changes the mutex lock applied conditionally excluding such an ioctl command. Also, change the mutex_lock() with the interruptible version for user to allow escaping from the big-hammer mutex.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
