Complete() will be run with interrupt enabled, so change to
spin_lock_irqsave().
    Changelog doesn't match the patch.
Yep, but moreover...

... actually this snd_pcm_stop() call should have been covered by
snd_pcm_stream_lock().  Maybe it'd be enough to have a single patch
together with the change, i.e. wrapping with
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave().

I'll prepare the patch for 3.11 independently from your patch series,
so please drop this one.


BTW, the word "cleanup" in the subject is inappropriate.  This is
rather a fix together with the core change.

And, I wonder whether we can take a safer approach.  When the caller
condition changed, we often introduced either a different ops
(e.g. ioctl case) or a flag for the new condition, at least during the
transition period.

Last but not least, is a conversion to tasklet really preferred?
tasklet is rather an obsoleted infrastructure nowadays, and people
don't recommend to use it any longer, AFAIK.


thanks,

Takashi
