From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Buffers allocated with snd_dma_alloc_pages() will have DMA direction DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. The trace data memory is only used for one DMA direction: DMA_FROM_DEVICE, DMA only writes there, never reads. We also need to do a sync before accessing (reading with CPU) from the trace data buffer to copy it to user space. Note: snd_dma_buffer_sync() is also used for normal playback and capture streams to make sure that the data is available for the DMA or CPU.
