<title>ALSA: pcm: Don't suspend stream in unrecoverable PCM state</title>

<id>113ce08109f8e3b091399e7cc32486df1cff48e7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently PCM core sets each opened stream forcibly to SUSPENDED state
via snd_pcm_suspend_all() call, and the user-space is responsible for
re-triggering the resume manually either via snd_pcm_resume() or
prepare call.  The scheme works fine usually, but there are corner
cases where the stream can't be resumed by that call: the streams
still in OPEN state before finishing hw_params.  When they are
suspended, user-space cannot perform resume or prepare because they
haven't been set up yet.  The only possible recovery is to re-open the
device, which isn't nice at all.  Similarly, when a stream is in
DISCONNECTED state, it makes no sense to change it to SUSPENDED
state.  Ditto for in SETUP state; which you can re-prepare directly.

So, this patch addresses these issues by filtering the PCM streams to
be suspended by checking the PCM state.  When a stream is in either
OPEN, SETUP or DISCONNECTED as well as already SUSPENDED, the suspend
action is skipped.

To be noted, this problem was originally reported for the PCM runtime
PM on HD-audio.  And, the runtime PM problem itself was already
addressed (although not intended) by the code refactoring commits
3d21ef0b49f8 ("ALSA: pcm: Suspend streams globally via device type PM
ops") and 17bc4815de58 ("ALSA: pci: Remove superfluous
snd_pcm_suspend*() calls").  These commits eliminated the
snd_pcm_suspend*() calls from the runtime PM suspend callback code
path, hence the racy OPEN state won't appear while runtime PM.
(FWIW, the race window is between snd_pcm_open_substream() and the
first power up in azx_pcm_open().)

Although the runtime PM issue was already "fixed", the same problem is
still present for the system PM, hence this patch is still needed.
And for stable trees, this patch alone should suffice for fixing the
runtime PM problem, too.

BE dai links only have internal PCM's and their substream ops may
not be set. Suspending these PCM's will result in their
 ops-&gt;trigger() being invoked and cause a kernel oops.
So skip suspending PCM's if their ops are NULL.

[ NOTE: this change is required now for following the recent PCM core
  change to get rid of snd_pcm_suspend() call.  Since DPCM BE takes
  the runtime carried from FE while keeping NULL ops, it can hit this
  bug.  See details at:

Remove the hackish down_write_nonfifo() that was introduced as a
workaround of rwsem deadlock.

It used to be a problem for non-atomic PCM streams that take the rwsem
for the locking and hit the high lock contention.  Since the current
PCM locking refactoring, we'll no longer hit it as the hot code-paths
don't take global locks.

<title>ALSA: pcm: More fine-grained PCM link locking</title>

<content type='text'>
We have currently two global locks, a rwlock and a rwsem, that are
used for managing linking the PCM streams.  Due to these global locks,
once when a linked stream is used, the lock granularity suffers a
lot.

This patch attempts to eliminate the former global lock for atomic
ops.  The latter rwsem needs remaining because of the loosy way of the
loop calls in snd_pcm_action_nonatomic(), as well as for avoiding the
deadlock at linking.  However, these are used far rarely, actually
only by two actions (prepare and  reset), where both are no timing
critical ones.  So this can be still seen as a good improvement.

The basic strategy to eliminate the rwlock is to assure group-&gt;lock at
adding or removing a stream to / from the group.  Since we already
takes the group lock whenever taking the all substream locks under the
group, this shouldn't be a big problem.  The reference to group
pointer in snd_pcm_substream object is protected by the stream lock
itself.

However, there are still pitfalls: a race window at re-locking and the
lifecycle of group object.  The former is a small race window for
dereferencing the substream group object opened while snd_pcm_action()
performs re-locking to avoid ABBA deadlocks.  This includes the unlink
of group during that window, too.  And the latter is the kfree
performed after all streams are removed from the group while it's
still dereferenced.

For addressing these corner cases, two new tricks are introduced:
- After re-locking, the group assigned to the stream is checked again;
  if the group is changed, we retry the whole procedure.
- Introduce a refcount to snd_pcm_group object, so that it's freed
  only when it's empty and really no one refers to it.

(Some readers might wonder why not RCU for the latter.  RCU in this
case would cost more than refcounting, unfortunately.  We take the
group lock sooner or later, hence the performance improvement by RCU
would be negligible.  Meanwhile, because we need to deal with
schedulable context depending on the pcm-&gt;nonatomic flag, it'll become
dynamic RCU/SRCU switch, and the grace period may become too long.)

Along with these changes, there are a significant amount of code
refactoring.  The complex group re-lock &amp; ref code is factored out to
snd_pcm_stream_group_ref() function, for example.
