Re: snd_hda_codec_cirrus kernel oops

Hey Takashi,

I've applied the patch you've listed below. Is there some 'fool-proof' 
way to produce _any_ output however? I've stopped pulse/pipe audio, and 
only use aplay + alsamixer. Back to basics as they say. For aplay, I use 
-D sysdefault:CARD=PCH (which was listed as a cirrus card with -L).

Alsamixer was used to ensure all volumes are open.

Without anything running, I was able to use hdajackretask to apply 
settings. But then, what to put. I get that I have to figure out, what 
is routed where (i'll try to find the schematic for the macbook pro 
12,1), but hence my question, is there some way to produce something? In 
hdajackretask I've enabled all pins, overriden them all, and set them 
all to the same configuration. 'Internal, internal, speaker, 
other-analog, green, not-present, 1, front'. I figured, by setting up 
verything to the internal speaker, I must get sound out of something, 
but alas.

I also have a Macbook pro from 1 or 2 generations earlier, 11,2 afaik, 
where the sound still does work. I've used the same config hdajackretask 
showed was in use there, but (obviously?) that didn't work.

So I'm a bit grasping at straws. Trying _every_ combination is a bit much?

Can you try to decode which line does it hit?
This was the arch 'vendor' kernel, so not easily? I could have tried
though I suppose :)

Instead, I just applied your patch and tried that instead.


Also, as a blind shot, does the patch below work around the bug?

the good thing, you fixed the oops; the bad thing, it's no working,
but hopefully this helps you gain more insight?

Below is a bit better patch for fixing the Oops.

But, judging from the output above, I guess it won't help completely,
because the pin configuration looks broken; e.g. it reports too many
"Internal Mic" pins (which must be only one usually).

That said, the actual breakage (except for kernel Oops) is the pin
config set by BIOS.  Maybe it doesn't set up things properly *at all*
You'll need to correct it by providing the full pin config with a
quirk table.  And for that, you'll need to figure out the pins via
trial-and-error, for example, with the help of hdajackretask.


thanks,

Takashi

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Fix Oops by 9.1 surround channel names

get_line_out_pfx() may trigger an Oops by overflowing the static array
with more than 8 channels.  This was reported for MacBookPro 12,1 with
Cirrus codec.

As a workaround, extend for the 9.1 channels and also fix the
potential Oops by unifying the code paths accessing the same array
with the proper size check.
