[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: timer: Allow backend disabling start/stop from handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some timer backend doesn't particularly like (re)start / stop calls
from its interrupt handler.  For example, hrtimer can't stop properly
with sync, and we still seem to have some open race.

This patch introduced a new flag, SNDRV_TIMER_HW_RET_CTRL, so that the
timer backend can specify whether snd_timer_interrupt() should call hw
start() and hw.stop() callbacks or not.  If the new flag is set,
snd_timer_interrupt() won't call hw.start() and hw.stop() callbacks
but return SNDRV_TIMER_RET_START and SNDRV_TIMER_RET_STOP,
respectively.

The actual usage of this flag will be done in the later patch,
starting from hrtimer.
