CVE-2023-53866

A locking issue was found in the ASoC (ALSA SoC) compressed audio subsystem in the Linux kernel. When DPCM (Dynamic PCM) compressed streams are started, several functions access resources without properly holding the card->pcm_mutex lock. This triggers lock assertion warnings and can cause kernel panics if panic_on_warn is enabled.

This is a locking issue in the ASoC compressed audio subsystem that causes warnings and potential panics. The impact is primarily on systems using compressed audio with DPCM routing and panic_on_warn enabled.
