    ALSA: pcm: Call snd_card_unref() inside in_pcm_file() · d819fb21
    Takashi Iwai authored
    The snd_card_unref() call in snd_pcm_link() looks suspicious through a
    quick glance, but it's a correct usage; this is needed just because
    the file descriptor check in is_pcm_file() calls the helper
    snd_lookup_minor_data() that keeps the card refcount.
    
    Despite of the correctness, the code still looks confusing.
    Basically, keeping the card ref for the whole code isn't needed
    as fdget() blocks the release of the opened file.  Hence it's more
    understandable if snd_card_unref() is moved into is_pcm_file(), then
    the caller doesn't have to take care after the call.
