I thought of it at the first glance, but after reading the code again, I doubt whether it makes sense at all to allow this condition. Since the buffer size is too small and the rate is too high, we can't calculate the buffer crossing condition accurately under such condition. But, having either this zero check or minimal hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies=1 would be good in anyway, even if we add more check for the hw_params for no-period-wakeup case. thanks, Takashi
