The snd_cards[] array holds the card pointers that have been currently registered, and it's exported for the external modules that may need to refer a card object. But accessing to this array can be racy against the driver probe or removal, as the card registration or free may happen concurrently. This patch gets rid of the direct access to snd_cards[] array and provides a helper function to give the card object from the index number with a refcount management. Then the caller can access to the given card object safely, and releases it via snd_card_unref(). While we're at it, add a proper comment to snd_card_unref() and make it an inlined function for type-safety, too. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
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.
