[PATCH 3/3] ALSA: hda: Revert "ALSA: hda: Allow setting preallocation again for x86"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit f8e4ae10de43fbb7ce85f79e04eca2988b6b2c40.

On systems where there is a lot of FrontEnds, when
CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE != 0  ALSA core allocates memory for each
FE, which may cause out of memory problems due to per card limit. Force
config to 0 on X86, so memory will be allocated on as needed basis.

 	  Specifies the default pre-allocated buffer-size in kB for the
 	  HD-audio driver.  A larger buffer (e.g. 2048) is preferred
 	  for systems using PulseAudio.  The default 64 is chosen just
 	  for compatibility reasons.
-	  On x86 systems, the default is 2048 as a reasonable value for
-	  most of modern systems.
+	  On x86 systems, the default is zero as we need no preallocation.
 
 	  Note that the pre-allocation size can be changed dynamically
 	  via a proc file (/proc/asound/card*/pcm*/sub*/prealloc), too.
