ALSA: PCM - Don't check DMA time-out too shortly

2011-05-26T06:09:38+00:00

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.

ALSA: vmalloc buffers should use normal mmap

2011-03-25T10:13:12+00:00

It's a big no-no to use pgprot_noncached() when mmap'ing such buffers
into userspace since they are mapped cachable in kernel space.

This can cause all sort of interesting things ranging from to garbled
sound to lockups on various architectures. I've observed that usb-audio
is broken on powerpc 4xx for example because of that.

Also remove the now unused snd_pcm_lib_mmap_noncached(). It's
an arch business to know when to use uncached mappings, there's
already hacks for MIPS inside snd_pcm_default_mmap() and other
archs are supposed to use dma_mmap_coherent().

(See my separate patch that adds dma_mmap_coherent() to powerpc)

ALSA: core: sparse cleanups

2011-02-14T16:10:11+00:00

Change the core code where sparse complains.  In most cases, this means
just adding annotations to confirm that we indeed want to do the dirty
things we're doing.

ALSA: pcm: support for period wakeup disabling

2010-11-22T07:13:16+00:00

This patch allows to disable period interrupts which are
not needed when the application relies on a system timer
to wake-up and refill the ring buffer. The behavior of
the driver is left unchanged, and interrupts are only
disabled if the application requests this configuration.
The behavior in case of underruns is slightly different,
instead of being detected during the period interrupts the
underruns are detected when the application calls
snd_pcm_update_avail, which in turns forces a refresh of the
hw pointer and shows the buffer is empty.

More specifically this patch makes a lot of sense when
PulseAudio relies on timer-based scheduling to access audio
devices such as HDAudio or Intel SST. Disabling interrupts
removes two unwanted wake-ups due to period elapsed events
in low-power playback modes. It also simplifies PulseAudio
voice modules used for speech calls.

To quote Lennart "This patch looks very interesting and
desirable. This is something have long been waiting for."

Support for this in hardware drivers is optional.
