commit 4ebd47037027c4beae99680bff3b20fdee5d7c1e upstream. The snd_seq_queue struct contains various flags in the bit fields. Those are categorized to two different use cases, both of which are protected by different spinlocks. That implies that there are still potential risks of the bad operations for bit fields by concurrent accesses. For addressing the problem, this patch rearranges those flags to be a standard bool instead of a bit field.

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.
