Hi! We currently have an issue reported by lockdep on the RaspberryPi and its HDMI audio output where, at startup, we end up scheduling in atomic context. This is caused by the HDMI driver polling some status bit that reports that the infoframes have been properly sent, and calling usleep_range between each iteration[1], and that is done in our trigger callback that seems to be run with a spinlock taken and the interrupt disabled (snd_pcm_action_lock_irq) as part of snd_pcm_start_lock_irq. This is the entire stack trace: # aplay --channels=2 -D 'iec958:CARD=vc4hdmi0,DEV=0' /root/test-tone.wav Playing WAVE '/root/test-tone.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo [ 14.732730] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hdmi.c:276 [ 14.742005] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, non_block: 0, pid: 140, name: aplay [ 14.749955] CPU: 0 PID: 140 Comm: aplay Not tainted 5.9.0-rc5-v7l+ #66 [ 14.756578] Hardware name: BCM2711 [ 14.760026] Backtrace: [ 14.762524] [<c020d250>] (dump_backtrace) from [<c020d5f4>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [ 14.770209] r7:c167c9e4 r6:600e0093 r5:00000000 r4:c167c9e4 [ 14.775960] [<c020d5d4>] (show_stack) from [<c0703164>] (dump_stack+0xb8/0xd8) [ 14.783297] [<c07030ac>] (dump_stack) from [<c025108c>] (___might_sleep+0x138/0x17c) [ 14.791159] r10:00000084 r9:f0979b00 r8:c10ffd50 r7:00000010 r6:00000000 r5:00000114 [ 14.799105] r4:c10fe000 r3:600e0093 [ 14.802736] [<c0250f54>] (___might_sleep) from [<c0251140>] (__might_sleep+0x70/0xb0) [ 14.810680] r4:c0e8f5f4 [ 14.813256] [<c02510d0>] (__might_sleep) from [<c0840724>] (vc4_hdmi_stop_packet+0x120/0x330) [ 14.821907] r6:ef21f280 r5:00000003 r4:73e746f9 [ 14.826598] [<c0840604>] (vc4_hdmi_stop_packet) from [<c084422c>] (vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe+0x140/0x5d0) [ 14.836220] r9:f0979b00 r8:c10ffd50 r7:ef219900 r6:ef248840 r5:00000000 r4:ef21f280 [ 14.844084] [<c08440ec>] (vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe) from [<c0844718>] (vc4_hdmi_set_audio_infoframe+0x5c/0x80) [ 14.854236] r10:efac7738 r9:ef3ea240 r8:00000001 r7:ef219900 r6:ef248840 r5:ef21f040 [ 14.862180] r4:ef21f280 [ 14.864756] [<c08446bc>] (vc4_hdmi_set_audio_infoframe) from [<c0844774>] (vc4_hdmi_audio_trigger+0x38/0x238) [ 14.874815] r4:00000001 [ 14.877392] [<c084473c>] (vc4_hdmi_audio_trigger) from [<c0a155f0>] (snd_soc_pcm_dai_trigger+0x64/0xcc) [ 14.886923] r5:efac5a00 r4:00000000 [ 14.890555] [<c0a1558c>] (snd_soc_pcm_dai_trigger) from [<c0a18c70>] (soc_pcm_trigger+0x70/0xac) [ 14.899472] r9:ef3ea240 r8:c1133540 r7:00000003 r6:ef219900 r5:ef219900 r4:00000001 [ 14.907336] [<c0a18c00>] (soc_pcm_trigger) from [<c09fbd84>] (snd_pcm_do_start+0x3c/0x40) [ 14.915633] r5:c0c749dc r4:00000000 [ 14.919264] [<c09fbd48>] (snd_pcm_do_start) from [<c09fa390>] (snd_pcm_action_single+0x48/0x88) [ 14.928094] [<c09fa348>] (snd_pcm_action_single) from [<c09fc830>] (snd_pcm_action+0x6c/0x78) [ 14.936746] r7:00000003 r6:c0c749dc r5:00000000 r4:ef219900 [ 14.942493] [<c09fc7c4>] (snd_pcm_action) from [<c09fd7ec>] (snd_pcm_action_lock_irq+0x38/0x50) [ 14.951320] r7:00000030 r6:00000003 r5:c0c749dc r4:ef219900 [ 14.957069] [<c09fd7b4>] (snd_pcm_action_lock_irq) from [<c09ffd2c>] (snd_pcm_ioctl+0x930/0x14e4) [ 14.966073] r7:00000030 r6:00000000 r5:0085ee60 r4:ef219900 [ 14.971823] [<c09ff3fc>] (snd_pcm_ioctl) from [<c043accc>] (sys_ioctl+0xe4/0x9e4) [ 14.979420] r10:efac7738 r9:00000004 r8:c1133540 r7:0085ee60 r6:00005624 r5:c1133540 [ 14.987364] r4:00004142 [ 14.989940] [<c043abe8>] (sys_ioctl) from [<c0200040>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x28) [ 14.997621] Exception stack(0xc10fffa8 to 0xc10ffff0) [ 15.002749] ffa0: 00869260 b6fa8000 00000004 00004142 0085ee60 00000001 [ 15.011050] ffc0: 00869260 b6fa8000 00005624 00000036 00000000 00000000 00001589 00001589 [ 15.019350] ffe0: b6fa8504 bedb59fc b6f2ff68 b6da515c [ 15.024479] r10:00000036 r9:c10fe000 r8:c0200204 r7:00000036 r6:00005624 r5:b6fa8000 [ 15.032423] r4:00869260 We could switch to a udelay instead, but the idea of busy-waiting for up to a 100ms while having the interrupt disabled doesn't sound ideal either. It looks like the snd_soc_dai_link structure has a nonatomic flag that seems to be made to address more or less that issue, taking a mutex instead of a spinlock. However setting that flag results in another lockdep issue, since the dmaengine controller doing the DMA transfer would call snd_pcm_period_elapsed on completion, in a tasklet, this time taking a mutex in an atomic context which is just as bad as the initial issue.

The drivers involved don't appear to be doing anything extraordinary, but the issues lockdep report are definitely valid too. What are the expectations in terms of context from ALSA when running the callbacks, and how can we fix it? Thanks!
