It makes the code harder to read. > +static snd_pcm_uframes_t > +virtsnd_pcm_pointer(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) > +{ > + struct virtio_pcm_substream *vss = snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream); > + snd_pcm_uframes_t hw_ptr = SNDRV_PCM_POS_XRUN; > + unsigned long flags; > + > + spin_lock_irqsave(&vss->lock, flags); > + if (!vss->xfer_xrun) > + hw_ptr = bytes_to_frames(substream->runtime, vss->hw_ptr); > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&vss->lock, flags); Oh, and if we drop nonatomc PCM, both trigger and pointer callbacks are guaranteed to be called inside the spinlock, hence you can remove *_irqsave() but just us spin_lock() in those two callbacks. thanks, Takashi
