Hi, can anyone have an AMD onboard audio device and/or AMD HDMI/DP output for testing a patch below with 5.18.x or 5.19-rc kernels? It's a pending fix (for 5.18+), but currently it can't be verified whether it causes a regression on the actual audio I/O (while it fixes the kernel crash). If the generic allocator still doesn't work as expected here, it should show some audio stuttering or such effect. Thanks! Takashi -- 8< -- From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: memalloc: Drop x86-specific hack for WC allocations The recent report for a crash on Haswell machines implied that the x86-specific (rather hackish) implementation for write-cache memory buffer allocation in ALSA core is buggy with the recent kernel in some corner cases. This patch drops the x86-specific implementation and uses the standard dma_alloc_wc() & co generically for avoiding the bug and also for simplification.
