Hi Yang Yingliang, Still some improvements to be done on this patch. If one of the dma channel is failed, we should fallback that channel to PIO. Something like below. I will post a new patch after testing this. ssi->playback.transfer = rz_ssi_pio_send; ssi->capture.transfer = rz_ssi_pio_recv; /* Detect DMA support */ ret = rz_ssi_dma_request(ssi, &pdev->dev); if (ret < 0) { dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "DMA not available, using PIO\n"); } else { dev_info(&pdev->dev, "DMA enabled"); if (ssi->playback.dma_ch) ssi->playback.transfer = rz_ssi_dma_transfer; if (ssi->capture.dma_ch) ssi->capture.transfer = rz_ssi_dma_transfer; } Regards, Biju > Subject: RE: [PATCH -next] ASoC: sh: rz-ssi: Fix return value check in > rz_ssi_dma_request() > > Hi Yang Yingliang, > > Thanks for your patch. > > Already I have posted a patch for fixing it. > > https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/alsa- > devel/patch/20210814180120.18082-1-biju.das.jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > > Since you posted a similar patch as Reported-by: Hulk Robot > <hulkci@xxxxxxxxxx>, I am adding my Rb tag for this patch. > > Regards, > Biju > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: 17 August 2021 04:00 > > To: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Cc: broonie@xxxxxxxxxx; Biju Das <biju.das.jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; > > Prabhakar Mahadev Lad <prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; > > lgirdwood@xxxxxxxxx > > Subject: [PATCH -next] ASoC: sh: rz-ssi: Fix return value check in > > rz_ssi_dma_request() > > > > In case of error, the function dma_request_chan() returns ERR_PTR() > > and never returns NULL.
