A reset can therefore race\nsnd_seq_oss_readq_free() or snd_seq_oss_readq_put_event() and leave\nstale records in the queue, drop freshly queued ones, or report the\nwrong readiness after wakeup. KCSAN reports a data race between\nsnd_seq_oss_readq_clear() and snd_seq_oss_readq_free().\n\nTake q->lock while clearing the ring and resetting input_time. Factor\nthe enqueue logic into a caller-locked helper so\nsnd_seq_oss_readq_put_timestamp() updates its suppression state under\nthe same lock instead of racing the reset path.\n\nThe buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the\norder within that path:\n\nreset path:                      locked readq updater:\n1. snd_seq_oss_reset() or        1.
