Hi, this is a patch set to clean up the PCM copy ops using sockptr_t as a "universal" pointer, inspired by the recent patch from Andy Shevchenko: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230721100146.67293-1-andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Even though it sounds a bit weird, sockptr_t is a generic type that is used already in wide ranges, and it can fit our purpose, too. With sockptr_t, the former split of copy_user and copy_kernel PCM ops can be unified again gracefully. The patch set introduces the new PCM ops, converting users, and drops the old PCM ops. Most of conversions are straightforward, simply replacing copy_*_user() with copy_*_sockptr() variants. Note that the conversion in ASoC will fix a potential problem of ASoC PCM that has been for long time. Since ASoC component takes care of only copy_user, the conversion form/to kernel space might have been missing. With this patch set, both cases are handled with sockptr_t by a single callback. The patches are lightly tested (with a faked PCM copy implementation on HD-audio), while most of patches are only compile-tested.
