When using davinci-mcasp as CPU DAI with simple-card, there are some conditions that cause simple-card to finish registering a sound card before davinci-mcasp finishes registering all sound components. This creates a non-working sound card from userspace with no problem indication apart from not being able to play/record audio on a PCM stream. The issue arises during simultaneous probe execution of both drivers. Specifically, the simple-card driver, awaiting a CPU DAI, proceeds as soon as davinci-mcasp registers its DAI. However, this process can lead to the client mutex lock (client_mutex in soc-core.c) being held or davinci-mcasp being preempted before PCM DMA registration on davinci-mcasp finishes. This situation occurs when the probes of both drivers run concurrently. Below is the code path for this condition. To solve the issue, defer davinci-mcasp CPU DAI registration to the last step in the audio part of it. This way, simple-card CPU DAI parsing will be deferred until all audio components are registered. Fail Code Path: simple-card.c: probe starts simple-card.c: simple_dai_link_of: simple_parse_node(..,cpu,..) returns EPROBE_DEFER, no CPU DAI yet davinci-mcasp.c: probe starts davinci-mcasp.c: devm_snd_soc_register_component() register CPU DAI simple-card.c: probes again, finish CPU DAI parsing and call devm_snd_soc_register_card() simple-card.c: finish probe davinci-mcasp.c: *dma_pcm_platform_register() register PCM DMA davinci-mcasp.c: probe finish Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 9fbd58cf4ab0 ("ASoC: davinci-mcasp: Choose PCM driver based on configured DMA controller") Signed-off-by: Joao Paulo Goncalves <joao.goncalves@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jai Luthra <j-luthra@xxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240417184138.1104774-1-jpaulo.silvagoncalves@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- sound/soc/ti/davinci-mcasp.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- a/sound/soc/ti/davinci-mcasp.c +++ b/sound/soc/ti/davinci-mcasp.c @@ -2417,12 +2417,6 @@ static int davinci_mcasp_probe(struct pl mcasp_reparent_fck(pdev); - ret = devm_snd_soc_register_component(&pdev->dev, &davinci_mcasp_component, - &davinci_mcasp_dai[mcasp->op_mode], 1); - - if (ret != 0) - goto err; - ret = davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type(mcasp); switch (ret) { case PCM_EDMA: @@ -2449,6 +2443,12 @@ static int davinci_mcasp_probe(struct pl goto err; } + ret = devm_snd_soc_register_component(&pdev->dev, &davinci_mcasp_component, + &davinci_mcasp_dai[mcasp->op_mode], 1); + + if (ret != 0) + goto err; + no_audio: ret = davinci_mcasp_init_gpiochip(mcasp); if (ret) { Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from joao.goncalves@xxxxxxxxxxx are queue-6.8/asoc-ti-davinci-mcasp-fix-race-condition-during-probe.patch
