commit 1c2b9519159b470ef24b2638f4794e86e2952ab7 upstream.
SB16 CSP driver may hit potentially a typical ABBA deadlock in two
code paths:
In snd_sb_csp_stop():
spin_lock_irqsave(&p->chip->mixer_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&p->chip->reg_lock);
In snd_sb_csp_load():
spin_lock_irqsave(&p->chip->reg_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&p->chip->mixer_lock);
Also the similar pattern is seen in snd_sb_csp_start().
Although the practical impact is very small (those states aren't
triggered in the same running state and this happens only on a real
hardware, decades old ISA sound boards -- which must be very difficult
to find nowadays), it's a real scenario and has to be fixed.
This patch addresses those deadlocks by splitting the locks in
snd_sb_csp_start() and snd_sb_csp_stop() for avoiding the nested
locks.

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.
