[PATCH 4.19 68/98] ALSA: timer: Relax start tick time check for slave timer elements

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

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit ccbfcac05866ebe6eb3bc6d07b51d4ed4fcde436 upstream.

The recent addition of a sanity check for a too low start tick time
seems breaking some applications that uses aloop with a certain slave
timer setup.  They may have the initial resolution 0, hence it's
treated as if it were a too low value.

Relax and skip the check for the slave timer instance for addressing
the regression.

Fixes: 4a63bd179fa8 ("ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time")
