<id>3345c36f951a36962493b1f59f23e47b5a94d8d2</id>

commit 763437a9e7737535b2fc72175ad4974048769be6 upstream.

wait_for_avail() in pcm_lib.c has a race in it (observed in practice by an
Intel validation group).

The function is supposed to return once space in the buffer has become
available, or if some timeout happens.  The entity that creates space (irq
handler of sound driver and some such) will do a wake up on a waitqueue
that this function registers for.

However there are two races in the existing code

1) If space became available between the caller noticing there was no
   space and this function actually sleeping, the wakeup is missed and the
   timeout condition will happen instead

2) If a wakeup happened but not sufficient space became available, the
   code will loop again and wait for more space.  However, if the second
   wake comes in prior to hitting the schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it
   will be missed, and potentially you'll wait out until the timeout
   happens.

The fix consists of using more careful setting of the current state (so
that if a wakeup happens in the main loop window, the schedule_timeout()
falls through) and by checking for available space prior to going into the
schedule_timeout() loop, but after being on the waitqueue and having the
state set to interruptible.

[tiwai: the following changes have been added to Arjan's original patch:
 - merged akpm's fix for waitqueue adding order into a single patch
 - reduction of duplicated code of avail check
]

commit 0584ffa548b6e59aceb027112f23a55f0133400e upstream.

A slave-timer instance has no timer reference, and this results in
NULL-dereference at stopping the timer, typically called at closing
the device.

commit ca9380fd68514c7bc952282c1b4fc70607e9fe43 upstream.

Convert array index from the loop bound to the loop index.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression e1,e2,ar;
@@

for(e1 = 0; e1 &lt; e2; e1++) { &lt;...
  ar[

<title>ALSA: PCM - Don't check DMA time-out too shortly</title>

<content type='text'>
When the PCM period size is set larger than 10 seconds, currently the
PCM core may abort the operation with DMA-error due to the fixed timeout
for 10 seconds.  A similar problem is seen in the drain operation that
has a fixed timeout of 10 seconds, too.

This patch fixes the timeout length depending on the period size and
rate, also including the consideration of no_period_wakeup flag.

The xrun_log function was augmented with the in_interrupt parameter whereas the
empty macro definition used when xrun logging is disabled was not.

Add a third parameter to the empty macro definition so as to not cause compiler
errors when xrun logging (CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG) is disabled.

When debugging pcm drivers I found the "period" or "hw" prefix printed
by either XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE or XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE events,
respectively to be very useful is observing the interplay between
interrupt-context updates and syscall-context updates.

Similarly, when debugging overruns with XRUN_DEBUG_LOG it is useful to
see the context of the last 10 positions.

Add an in_interrupt member to hwptr_log_entry which stores the value of
the in_interrupt parameter of snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0 when the log entry
is created. Print a "[Q]" prefix when dumping the log entries if
in_interrupt was true.
