Clemens Ladisch noted for hw_ptr_removal in "cleanup & merge hw_ptr
update functions" commit:
"It is possible for the status/delay ioctls to be called when the sound
card's pointer register alreay shows a position at the beginning of the
new period, but immediately before the interrupt is actually executed.
(This happens regularly on a SMP machine with mplayer.) When that
happens, the code thinks that the position must be at least one period
ahead of the current position and drops an entire buffer of data."
Return back the hw_ptr_interrupt variable. The last interrupt pointer
is always computed from the latest hw_ptr instead of tracking it
separately (in this case all hw_ptr checks and modifications might
influence also hw_ptr_interrupt and it is difficult to keep it
consistent).

pgprot_noncached() can be set for vmalloc'ed buffers safely, and we'd

Now snd_pcm_lib_mmap_vmalloc() is added as the common PCM mmap callback

Do general cleanup in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr*() routines and merge them.
The main change is hw_ptr_interrupt variable removal to simplify code
logic. This variable can be computed directly from hw_ptr.
Ensure that updated hw_ptr is not lower than previous one (it was possible
with old code in some obscure situations when interrupt was delayed or
the lowlevel driver returns wrong ring buffer position value).

Using SG-buffers with dma_alloc_coherent() is often very inefficient
on non-coherent architectures because a tracking record could be
allocated in addition for each dma_alloc_coherent() call.
Instead, simply disable SG-buffers but just allocate normal continuous

Some drivers like Intel8x0 or Intel HDA are broken for some hardware variants.
This patch adds more strict buffer position checks based on jiffies when

Most hardwares have limited buffer-descriptor table length. This
also restricts the max buffer size of the sound driver.
For example, snd-hda-intel has 1MB buffer size limit, and this is
because it can have at most 256 BDL entries. For supporting larger
buffers, we need to allocate larger pages even for sg-buffers.
This patch changes the sgbuf allocation code to try to allocate
larger pages first. At each head of the allocated pages, the
number of allocated pages is stored in the lowest bits of the
corresponding entry of the table addr field. This change isn't
visible as long as the driver uses snd_sgbuf_get_addr() helper.
Also, the patch adds a new function, snd_pcm_sgbuf_get_chunk_size().
This returns the size of the chunk on continuous pages starting at
the given position offset. If the chunk reaches to a non-continuous
page, it returns the size to the boundary.

When compiled with CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS the ALSA core is fine
to have more than 8 PCM devices per card, except one place - the
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_NEXT_DEVICE ioctl, which will not enumerate
devices > 7. This patch fixes the issue, changing the devices list
organisation.
Instead of adding new device to the tail, the list is now kept always
ordered (by card number, then device number). Thus, during enumeration,
it is easy to discover the fact that there is no more given card's
devices.
Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm had to be changed to int,
as its "unsignednity" caused a lot of problems when comparing it to
potentially negative signed values. (-1 is 0xffffffff or even more then ;-)

been fixed as well.
Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm is now int, instead of
unsigned int, as there is no obvious reason for keeping it unsigned.
This caused a lot of problems with comparing this value with other
(almost always signed) variables. There is just one more place where
device number is unsigned - in struct snd_pcm_info, which should be
also sorted out in future.

The 'tick' in PCM is set (again) via sw_params. And, nobody uses
this feature at all except for a command line option of aplay.
(This is literally 'nobody', as I checked alsa-lib API calls in all

Above all, if we need finer wake-ups for the position update, it's
basically an issue that the driver should solve, not tuned by each

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly. The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align. So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.
Removing this parameter will make some pcm_lib_* code more readable
(and less buggy).

Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback. In
ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly
the period of latency that it can deal with. This patch uses 75% of the
total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem;
While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining
25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is
also proportional to the size of the buffer.
With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while
with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen.
Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot
smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get
into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management
rules.
