The patch ASoC: soc-core: verify Sound Card normality has been applied to the asoc tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From c12c1aad98bb75b435e79c6208b56d2018b42f8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 06:31:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: soc-core: verify Sound Card normality Current ALSA SoC Sound Card basically consists of CPU/Codec/Platform components. If system uses Kernel modules, we can disable these drivers by using rmmod command. In such case, we can't disable CPU/Codec/Platform driver without disabling Sound Card driver. But on the other hand, we can disable these drivers by using unbind command. In such case, we can disable these drivers randomly. In this case, we can create dirty Sound Card which is missing necessary components. (1) If user disabled Sound Card first, but did nothing to other drivers, user can't use Sound because Sound Card is no longer exists. (2) If user disabled CPU/Codec/Platform driver randomly, but did nothing to Sound Card, user still be able to use Sound Card, because dirty Sound Card still exists. In this case, Sound system will be crashed if user started sound playback/capture. But we can't block such random unbind now. To avoid Sound Card crash in (2) case, we need to unregister Sound Card whenever CPU/Codec/Platform component were unregistered. This patch solves this issue.
