The standard programming model of a PCM sound driver is to process snd_pcm_period_elapsed() from an interrupt handler. When a running stream is stopped, PCM core calls the trigger-STOP PCM ops, sets the stream state to SETUP, and moves on to the next step. This is performed in an atomic manner -- this could be called from the interrupt context, after all. The problem is that, if the stream goes further and reaches to the CLOSE state immediately, the stream might be still being processed in snd_pcm_period_elapsed() in the interrupt context, and hits a NULL dereference. Such a crash happens because of the atomic operation, and we can't wait until the stream-stop finishes. For addressing such a problem, this commit adds a new PCM ops, sync_stop. This gets called at the appropriate places that need a sync with the stream-stop, i.e. at hw_params, prepare and hw_free. Some drivers already have a similar mechanism implemented locally, and we'll refactor the code later.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
