The use_count of the swidget is protect by ALSA core PCM locking with the exception when an associated kcontrol is changed. It has been observed that a rightly timed kcontrol access during stream stop can result of an attempt to send a control update to a widget which has been freed up between the check of the use_count and the message sending. We need to protect the entire sof_widget_setup() and sof_widget_free() execution to make it safe to rely on the use_count. Move the code under an _unlocked() function and use a mutex to protect the execution of the functions for concurrency. On the control path we need to use the lock only for the kcontrol access, the widget_kcontrol_setup() op is called with the lock already held.

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.
