When the USB backend is eventually made available, previous USB SND device connections are not communicated to the USB backend. Call snd_usb_rediscover_devices() to generate the connect callbacks for all USB SND devices connected. This will allow for the USB backend to be updated with the current set of devices available. The chip array entries are all populated and removed while under the register_mutex, so going over potential race conditions: Thread#1: q6usb_component_probe() --> snd_soc_usb_add_port() --> snd_usb_rediscover_devices() --> mutex_lock(register_mutex) Thread#2 --> usb_audio_disconnect() --> mutex_lock(register_mutex) So either thread#1 or thread#2 will complete first. If Thread#1 completes before thread#2: SOC USB will notify DPCM backend of the device connection. Shortly after, once thread#2 runs, we will get a disconnect event for the connected device. Thread#2 completes before thread#1: Then during snd_usb_rediscover_devices() it won't notify of any connection for that particular chip index.Looks like you are assuming the regular USB audio stuff is probed first? What if it's not the case? Have you tested with a manual 'blacklist' and "modprobe" sequence long after all the DSP stuff is initialized? It really reminds me of audio+display issues, and the same opens apply IMHO.
Not necessarily...if the USB audio driver is not probed, then that is the same scenario as when there is no USB audio capable device plugged in, while the offload path is waiting for the connect event. I think this is the standard scenario.
In the situation where the platform sound card hasn't probed yet and USB audio devices are being identified, then that is basically the scenario that would be more of an issue, since its USB SND that notifies of the connection state (at the time of connect/disconnect).
I've tried with building these drivers as modules and probing them at different times/sequences, and I haven't seen an issue so far.
Thanks Wesley Cheng
