I got that. But there are already some checks in pcm_lib.c,
/* new_hw_ptr might be lower than old_hw_ptr in case when */
/* pointer crosses the end of the ring buffer */
if (new_hw_ptr < old_hw_ptr) {
hw_base += runtime->buffer_size;
if (hw_base >= runtime->boundary)
hw_base = 0;
new_hw_ptr = hw_base + pos;
}
So do I need to add any additional checks? Or did I miss something in
your discussion with Takashi?
