commit dfa9a5efe8b932a84b3b319250aa3ac60c20f876 upstream. The rawmidi state flags (opened, append, active_sensing) are stored in bit fields that can be potentially racy when concurrently accessed without any locks. Although the current code should be fine, there is also no any real benefit by keeping the bitfields for this kind of short number of members. This patch changes those bit fields flags to the simple bool fields. There should be no size increase of the snd_rawmidi_substream by this change.

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.
