This patchset adds a different snd_pcm_runtime in the BE's substream, replacing the FE's snd_pcm_runtime. With a different structure, the BE HW capabilities and constraints will no longer merge with the FE ones. This allows for error detection if the be_hw_params_fixup() applies HW parameters not supported by the BE DAIs. Also, it calculates values needed for mem-to-dev/dev-to-mem DMA transfers, such as buffer size and period size, if needed. The first 4 patches are preparatory patches, that just group and export functions used to allocate and initialize the snd_pcm_runtime. Also, the functions that set and apply the HW constraints are exported. The 5th patch does (almost) everything need to create the new snd_pcm_runtime for BEs, which includes allocation, initializing the HW capabilities, HW constraints and HW parameters. The BE HW parameters are no longer copied from the FE. They are recalculated, based on HW capabilities, constraints and the be_hw_params_fixup() callback. The 6th and last patch basically adds support for the PCM generic dmaengine to be used as a platform driver for BE DAI links. It allocates a buffer, needed by the DMA transfers that do not support dev-to-dev transfers between FE and BE DAIs. This is a superset of https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2021-March/182630.html which only handles the BE HW constraints. This patchset aims to be more complete, defining a a snd_pcm_runtime between each FE and BE and can be used between any DAI link connection. I am sure I am not handling all the needed members of snd_pcm_runtime (such as handling struct snd_pcm_mmap_status *status), but I would like to have your feedback regarding this idea.
