It's not clear why a spinlock was used, and even less why the 'dpcm_lock' is used with the irqsave/irqrestore: DPCM functions are typically not used in interrupt context. Move to a mutex which will allow us to sleep for longer periods of time and handle non-atomic triggers. Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com>

Not quite there yet, three missing mutex_unlock. updated now. |
When more than one FE is connected to a BE, e.g. in a mixing use case, the BE can be triggered multiple times when the FE are opened/started concurrently. This race condition is problematic in the case of SoundWire BE dailinks, and this is not desirable in a general case. The code carefully checks when the BE can be stopped or hw_free'ed, but the trigger code does not use any mutual exclusion. Fix by using the same mutex already used to check FE states, and set the state before the trigger. In case of errors, the initial state will be restored. This patch does not change how the triggers are handled, it only makes sure the states are handled in critical sections. Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com>
On start/pause_release/resume, when more than one FE is connected to the same BE, it's possible that the trigger is sent more than once. This is not desirable, we only want to trigger a BE once, which is straightforward to implement with a refcount. For stop/pause/suspend, the problem is more complicated: the check implemented in snd_soc_dpcm_can_be_free_stop() may fail due to a conceptual deadlock when we trigger the BE before the FE. In this case, the FE states have not yet changed, so there are corner cases where the TRIGGER_STOP is never sent - the dual case of start where multiple triggers might be sent. This patch suggests an unconditional trigger in all cases, without checking the FE states, using a refcount protected by a mutex.

A BE connected to more than one FE, e.g. in a mixer case, can go through the following transitions. play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is STOP release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP The existing code for PAUSE_RELEASE only allows for the case where the BE is paused, which clearly would not work in the sequences above. Extend the allowed states to restart the BE when PAUSE_RELEASE is received. Reported-by: Bard Liao <bard.liao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com>
