2016-01-12ALSA: hda_intel: add card number to irq descriptionHeiner Kallweit
Currently the info in /proc/interrupts doesn't allow to figure out which interrupt belongs to which card (HDMI, PCH, ..). Therefore add card details to the interrupt description. With the patch the info in /proc/interrupts looks like this: PCI-MSI 442368-edge snd_hda_intel:card1 PCI-MSI 49152-edge snd_hda_intel:card0 NOTE: this patch adds the new irq_descr field snd_card struct that is filled automatically at a card object creation. This can be used generically for other drivers as well. The changes for others will follow later -- tiwai Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2015-06-29ALSA: Fix uninintialized error returnColin Ian King
Static analysis with cppcheck found the following error: [sound/core/init.c:118]: (error) Uninitialized variable: err ..this was introduced by commit 2471b6c80a70e80de69f5ff4c37187c3912e5874 ("ALSA: info: Register proc entries recursively, too") where the call to snd_info_card_register was removed and no longer setting the error return in err. When snd_info_create_card_entry fails to allocate a an entry, the error path exits with garbage in err. Fix is to return -ENOMEM if entry fails to be allocated.

2015-05-27ALSA: replace CONFIG_PROC_FS with CONFIG_SND_PROC_FSJie Yang
We may disable proc fs only for sound part, to reduce ALSA memory footprint. So add CONFIG_SND_PROC_FS and replace the old CONFIG_PROC_FSs in alsa code. With sound proc fs disabled, we can save about 9KB memory size on X86_64 platform.

2015-05-18ALSA: info: Register proc entries recursively, tooTakashi Iwai
The commit [c560a6797e3b: ALSA: core: Remove child proc file elements recursively] converted snd_card_proc_new() with the normal snd_info_*() call and removed snd_device chain for such info entries. However, it misses one point: the creation of the proc entry was managed by snd_device chain in the former code, and now it's also gone, which results in no proc files creation at all. Mea culpa. This patch makes snd_info_card_register() creating the all pending child proc entries in a shot. Also, since snd_card_register() might be called multiple times, this function is also changed to be callable multiple times. Along with the changes above, now the linked list of snd_info_entry is added at creation time instead of snd_info_register() for keeping eyes of pending info entries.

2015-04-24ALSA: core: Don't ignore errors at creating proc filesTakashi Iwai
So far we've ignored the errors at creating proc files in many places. But they should be rather treated seriously. Also, by assuring the error handling, we can get rid of superfluous snd_info_free_entry() calls as they will be removed by the parent in the caller side. This patch fixes the missing error checks and reduces the superfluous free calls. Acked-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2015-02-06ALSA: Add a helper to add a new attribute group to cardTakashi Iwai
For assigning sysfs entries for a card device from the driver, introduce a new helper function, snd_card_add_dev_attr(). In this way, we can avoid the possible race between the device registration and the sysfs addition / removal. The driver can pass a new attribute group to add freely. This has to be called before snd_card_register(). Currently, up to two extra groups can be added. More than that, it'll return an error. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2014-06-18ALSA: control: Protect user controls against concurrent accessLars-Peter Clausen
The user-control put and get handlers as well as the tlv do not protect against concurrent access from multiple threads. Since the state of the control is not updated atomically it is possible that either two write operations or a write and a read operation race against each other. Both can lead to arbitrary memory disclosure. This patch introduces a new lock that protects user-controls from concurrent access. Since applications typically access controls sequentially than in parallel a single lock per card should be fine.

2014-02-25ALSA: Clean up snd_device_*() codesTakashi Iwai
A few code cleanups and optimizations. In addition, drop snd_device_disconnect() that isn't used at all, and drop the return values from snd_device_free*(). Another slight difference by this change is that now the device state will become always SNDRV_DEV_REGISTERED no matter whether dev_register ops is present or not. It's for better consistency. There should be no impact for the current tree, as the state isn't checked. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2014-02-25ALSA: Use priority list for managing device listTakashi Iwai
Basically, the device type specifies the priority of the device to be registered / freed, too. However, the priority value isn't well utilized but only it's checked as a group. This results in inconsistent register and free order (where each of them should be in reversed direction). This patch simplifies the device list management code by simply inserting a list entry at creation time in an incremental order for the priority value. Since we can just follow the link for register, disconnect and free calls, we don't have to specify the group; so the whole enum definitions are also simplified as well. The visible change to outside is that the priorities of some object types are revisited. For example, now the SNDRV_DEV_LOWLEVEL object is registered before others (control, PCM, etc) and, in return, released after others. Similarly, SNDRV_DEV_CODEC is in a lower priority than SNDRV_DEV_BUS for ensuring the dependency. Also, the unused SNDRV_DEV_TOPLEVEL, SNDRV_DEV_LOWLEVEL_PRE and SNDRV_DEV_LOWLEVEL_NORMAL are removed as a cleanup. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2014-02-14ALSA: Embed card device into struct snd_cardTakashi Iwai
As prepared in the previous patch, we are ready to create a device struct for the card object in snd_card_create() now. This patch changes the scheme from the old style to: - embed a device struct for the card object into snd_card struct, - initialize the card device in snd_card_create() (but not register), - registration is done in snd_card_register() via device_add() The actual card device is stored in card->card_dev. The card->dev pointer is kept unchanged and pointing to the parent device as before for compatibility reason. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2014-02-12ALSA: Mandate to pass a device pointer at card creation timeTakashi Iwai
This is a part of preliminary works for modernizing the ALSA device structure. So far, we set card->dev at later point after the object creation. Because of this, the core layer doesn't always know which device is being handled before it's actually registered, and it makes impossible to show the device in error messages, for example. The first goal is to achieve a proper struct device initialization at the very beginning of probing. As a first step, this patch introduces snd_card_new() function (yes there was the same named function in the very past), in order to receive the parent device pointer from the very beginning. snd_card_create() is marked as deprecated. At this point, there is no functional change other than that. The actual change of the device creation scheme will follow later. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2013-05-24ALSA: Add kconfig to specify the max card numbersTakashi Iwai
Currently ALSA supports up to 32 card instances when the dynamic minor is used. While 32 cards are usually big enough for normal use cases, there are sometimes weird requirements with more card support. Actually, this limitation, 32, comes from the index option, where you can pass the bit mask to assign the card. Other than that, we can actually give more cards up to the minor number limits (currently 256, which can be extended more, too). This patch adds a new Kconfig to specify the max card numbers, and changes a few places to accept more than 32 cards. The only incompatibility with high card numbers would be the handling of index option. The index option can be still used to pass the bitmask for card assignments, but this works only up to 32 slots. More than 32, no bitmask style option is available but only a single slot can be specified via index option. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2013-05-24ALSA: Fix the default suffix string with high card numberTakashi Iwai
ALSA core tries to add a suffix as "_1" automatically when the given id string conflicts. The current code assumes implicitly that the max card number is 16 so that the single hex "_X" suffix can be put. However, with the dynamic device management, the card can be at most 32, so it can put even a non-hex character there. Also, when the max card number is increased in future, this would result in worse. This patch rewrites the code to add the suffix string in a simpler (thus cleaner) way. It can support up to three digits, so it should suffice for most requirements. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2009-06-03ALSA: Fix double locking of card list in snd_card_register()Mark Brown
The introduction of snd_card_set_id() added a lock on the card list to the old choose_default_id() function when using it to implement the new API call. This lock is needed to allow us to walk the list and check to see if our new name is a duplicate. Unfortunately this causes a lockup when called from snd_card_register() (in cases where no ID is supplied for the card) since the card list is already locked there. Fix this fairly hideously by factoring out the implementation and using a flag to indicate if the lock should be held. A better fix would probably be to refactor snd_card_register() to move the _set_id() outside the locking region but I can't immediately see anything I can convince myself is safe.
