ASoC: dpcm: Fix race between FE/BE updates and trigger
DPCM can update the FE/BE connection states totally asynchronously
from the FE's PCM state. Most of FE/BE state changes are protected by
mutex, so that they won't race, but there are still some actions that
are uncovered. For example, suppose to switch a BE while a FE's
stream is running. This would call soc_dpcm_runtime_update(), which
sets FE's runtime_update flag, then sets up and starts BEs, and clears
FE's runtime_update flag again.
When a device emits XRUN during this operation, the PCM core triggers
snd_pcm_stop(XRUN). Since the trigger action is an atomic ops, this
isn't blocked by the mutex, thus it kicks off DPCM's trigger action.
It eventually updates and clears FE's runtime_update flag while
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() is running concurrently, and it results in
confusion.
Usually, for avoiding such a race, we take a lock. There is a PCM
stream lock for that purpose. However, as already mentioned, the
trigger action is atomic, and we can't take the lock for the whole
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() or other operations that include the lengthy
jobs like hw_params or prepare.
This patch provides an alternative solution. This adds a way to defer
the conflicting trigger callback to be executed at the end of FE/BE
state changes. For doing it, two things are introduced:
- Each runtime_update state change of FEs is protected via PCM stream
lock.
- The FE's trigger callback checks the runtime_update flag. If it's
not set, the trigger action is executed there. If set, mark the
pending trigger action and returns immediately.
- At the exit of runtime_update state change, it checks whether the
pending trigger is present. If yes, it executes the trigger action
at this point.
