    ALSA: seq: Clear client entry before deleting else at closing · a2ff19f7

    When releasing a client, we need to clear the clienttab[] entry at
    first, then call snd_seq_queue_client_leave().  Otherwise, the
    in-flight cell in the queue might be picked up by the timer interrupt
    via snd_seq_check_queue() before calling snd_seq_queue_client_leave(),
    and it's delivered to another queue while the client is clearing
    queues.  This may eventually result in an uncleared cell remaining in
    a queue, and the later snd_seq_pool_delete() may need to wait for a
    long time until the event gets really processed.
    
    By moving the clienttab[] clearance at the beginning of release, any
    event delivery of a cell belonging to this client will fail at a later
    point, since snd_seq_client_ptr() returns NULL.  Thus the cell that
    was picked up by the timer interrupt will be returned immediately
    without further delivery, and the long stall of snd_seq_delete_pool()
    can be avoided, too.
