commit b51abed835 upstream.
Currently the PCM core calls snd_pcm_unlink() always unconditionally
at closing a stream. However, since snd_pcm_unlink() invokes the
global rwsem down, the lock can be easily contended. More badly, when
a thread runs in a high priority RT-FIFO, it may stall at spinning.
Basically the call of snd_pcm_unlink() is required only for the linked
streams that are already rare occasion. For normal use cases, this
code path is fairly superfluous.
As an optimization (and also as a workaround for the RT problem
above in normal situations without linked streams), this patch adds a
check before calling snd_pcm_unlink() and calls it only when needed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
