Hi
It oopses with 2.6.18-rt4 + alsa-kernel-1.0.13rc3 now.
I wrote before, 2.6.18-rt3 + alsa-driver-1.0.13rc3 would be ok,
but its not. bug showed again reliably under memory-pressure.

Reset file->f_op in snd_card_file_remove(). Take 2
i think what happens here is:
us428control runs, kernel has allocated a struct file for /dev/hwC1D0.
usb disconnect
snd_usb_usx2y calls snd_card_disconnect,
tells us428control to exit.
snd_card_disconnect replaces /dev/hwC1D0's file->f_op
with a kmalloc()ed version, that would only allow releases.
us428control starts exiting
__fput is called with struct file for /dev/hwC1D0.
snd_card_file_remove() is called, alsa notices struct file
for /dev/hwC1D0 is about to be closed.
with patch below, file->f_op would be set NULL now.
snd_usb_usx2y's free()s snd_card instance and /dev/hwC1D0's
file->f_ops, those that would only allow releases.
for reason I would like to know,
__fput is called again with struct file for /dev/hwC1D0
from us428control's do_exit().
__fput see's file->f_op is still set.
Without patch and under memory pressure, file->f_op can
point to anything now.
