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.

The xrun_log function was augmented with the in_interrupt parameter whereas the

Add a third parameter to the empty macro definition so as to not cause compiler

When debugging pcm drivers I found the "period" or "hw" prefix printed
by either XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE or XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE events,
respectively to be very useful is observing the interplay between
interrupt-context updates and syscall-context updates.
Similarly, when debugging overruns with XRUN_DEBUG_LOG it is useful to
see the context of the last 10 positions.
Add an in_interrupt member to hwptr_log_entry which stores the value of
the in_interrupt parameter of snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0 when the log entry
is created. Print a "[Q]" prefix when dumping the log entries if
in_interrupt was true.

When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares
the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware
pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop
makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being
done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263
negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned
value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts
disabled results in the machine locking up.
To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for
both operands so that the comparison is correctly done.
Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

When period wakeups are disabled, successive calls to the pointer update
function do not have a maximum allowed distance, so xruns cannot be
detected with the pointer value only.
To detect xruns, compare the actually elapsed time with the time that
should have theoretically elapsed since the last update. When the
hardware pointer has wrapped around due to an xrun, the actually elapsed
time will be too big by about hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies.

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.

desirable. This is something have long been waiting for."

The current code in pcm_lib.c do all checks using only the position
in the ring buffer. Unfortunately, where the interrupts gets delayed or
merged into one, we need another timing source to check when the
buffer size boundary overlaps to avoid the wrong updating of the
ring buffer pointers.
This code uses jiffies to check the right time window without any

In situation when appl_ptr is far greater then hw_ptr, the hw_avail value

When using poll() to wait for the next period -- or avail_min samples --
one gets a consistent delay for each system call that is usually just a
little short of the selected period time. However, When using
snd_pcm_read/write(), one gets a jittery delay that alternates between
less than a millisecond and approximately two period times. This is
caused by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() transferring any available samples
to the user's buffer and adjusting the application pointer prior to
sleeping to the end of the current period. When the next period
interrupt occurs, there is then less than avail_min samples remaining to
be transferred in the period, so we end up sleeping until a second
period occurs.
This is solved by using runtime->twake as the number of samples needed
for a wakeup in addition to selecting the proper wait queue to wake in
snd_pcm_update_state(). This requires twake to be non-zero when used
by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() even if avail_min is zero.

In the cleanup of the hw_ptr update functions in 2.6.33, the calculation
of the delta value was changed to use the modulo operator to protect
against a negative difference due to the pointer wrapping around at the
boundary.
However, the ptr variables are unsigned, so a negative difference would
result in the two complement's value which has no relation to the actual
difference relative to the boundary; the result is typically some value
near LONG_MAX-boundary. Furthermore, even if the modulo operation would
be done with signed types, the result of a negative dividend could be
negative.
The invalid delta value is then caught by the following checks, but this
means that the pointer update is ignored.
To fix this, use a range check as in the other pointer calculations.

Commit 7910b4a1db in 2.6.34 changed the
runtime->boundary calculation to make this value a multiple of both the
buffer_size and the period_size, because the latter is assumed by the
runtime->hw_ptr_interrupt calculation.
However, due to the lack of a ioctl that could read the software
parameters before they are set, the kernel requires that alsa-lib
calculates the boundary value, too. The changed algorithm leads to
a different boundary value used by alsa-lib, which makes, e.g., mplayer
fail to play a 44.1 kHz file because the silence_size parameter is now
invalid; bug report:
<https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5015>.
This patch reverts the change to the boundary calculation, and instead
fixes the hw_ptr_interrupt calculation to be period-aligned regardless
of the boundary value.

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).

The direction of rounding is incorrect in the snd_interval_ratnum()
It was detected with following parameters (sb8 driver playing
8kHz stereo file):
- num is always 1000000
- requested frequency rate is from 7999 to 7999 (single frequency)
The first loop calculates div_down(num, freq->min) which is 125.
Thus, a frequency range's minimum value is 1000000 / 125 = 8000 Hz.
The second loop calculates div_up(num, freq->max) which is 126
The frequency range's maximum value is 1000000 / 126 = 7936 Hz.
The range maximum is lower than the range minimum so the function
fails due to empty result range.

The current PCM core has the following problems regarding PCM draining
in non-blocking mode:
- the current f_flags isn't checked in snd_pcm_drain(), thus changing
the mode dynamically via snd_pcm_nonblock() after open doesn't work.
- calling drain in non-blocking mode just return -EAGAIN error, but
doesn't provide any way to sync with draining.
This patch fixes these issues.
- check file->f_flags in snd_pcm_drain() properly
- when O_NONBLOCK is set, PCM core sets the stream(s) to DRAIN state
but quits ioctl immediately without waiting the whole drain; the
caller can sync the drain manually via poll()
