Sure. I think you're implying that you would have liked to be in To: for this patch? I went to quite a lot of trouble to ensure all maintainers were at least in the To: field for patches touching their code. But get_maintainer.pl lists you as a supporter, not a maintainer when I ran this patch through. Could you clarify what would have been the correct thing to do? I could include all reviewers and supporters as well as maintainers but then I'd be banging up against the limits for some of the patches. Or perhaps I've misunderstood the point you're making here. > >> -static const struct snd_pcm_hardware dummy_dma_hardware = { >> +static DEFINE_GLOBAL_PAGE_SIZE_VAR_CONST(struct snd_pcm_hardware, dummy_dma_hardware, { >> /* Random values to keep userspace happy when checking constraints */ >> .info = SNDRV_PCM_INFO_INTERLEAVED | >> SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BLOCK_TRANSFER, >> @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ static const struct snd_pcm_hardware dummy_dma_hardware = { >> .period_bytes_max = PAGE_SIZE*2, >> .periods_min = 2, >> .periods_max = 128, >> -}; >> +}); > > It's probably better to just use PAGE_SIZE_MAX here and avoid the > deferred patching, like the comment says we don't particularly care what > the value actually is here given that it's a dummy. OK, so would that be: .buffer_bytes_max = 128*1024, .period_bytes_min = PAGE_SIZE_MAX, <<<<< .period_bytes_max = PAGE_SIZE_MAX*2, <<<<< .periods_min = 2, .periods_max = 128, ? It's not really clear to me how all the parameters interact; the buffer size 128K, which, if PAGE_SIZE_MAX is 64K, would hold 1 period of the maximum size. But periods_min is 2. So not sure that works? Or perhaps I'm trying to apply too much meaning to the param names... Thanks, Ryan
