[ Upstream commit 6fadb494a638d8b8a55864ecc6ac58194f03f327 ] Currently ALSA sequencer core tries to process the queued events as much as possible when they become dispatchable. If applications try to queue too massive events to be processed at the very same timing, the sequencer core would still try to process such all events, either in the interrupt context or via some notifier; in either away, it might be a cause of RCU stall or such problems. As a potential workaround for those problems, this patch adds the upper limit of the amount of events to be processed. The remaining events are processed in the next batch, so they won't be lost. For the time being, it's limited up to 1000 events per queue, which should be high enough for any normal usages.

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.
