      sis7019: fix capture issues with multiple periods per buffer · 3a3d5fd1
      David Dillow authored
      When using a timing voice to clock out periods during capture, the
      driver would slowly loose synchronization and never catch up, eventually
      reaching a point where it no longer generated interrupts. To avoid
      this situation, the virtual period clocking was changed to shorten the
      next timing period when our timing voice falls too far behind the
      capture voice. In addition, the first virtual period for the timing
      voice was slightly too short, causing the timing voice to initially be
      ahead of the capture voice.
      
      While tracking down this problem, I noticed that the expected sample
      offset was being incorrectly initialized, causing an overrun to be
      incorrectly reported when the timing voice happened to be perfectly
      synchronized.

      ALSA: pcm_lib: avoid timing jitter in snd_pcm_read/write() · 5daeba34
      David Dillow authored
      When using poll() to wait for the next period -- or avail_min samples --
      one gets a consistent delay for each system call that is usually just a
      little short of the selected period time. However, When using
      snd_pcm_read/write(), one gets a jittery delay that alternates between
      less than a millisecond and approximately two period times. This is
      caused by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() transferring any available samples
      to the user's buffer and adjusting the application pointer prior to
      sleeping to the end of the current period. When the next period
      interrupt occurs, there is then less than avail_min samples remaining to
      be transferred in the period, so we end up sleeping until a second
      period occurs.
      
      This is solved by using runtime->twake as the number of samples needed
      for a wakeup in addition to selecting the proper wait queue to wake in
      snd_pcm_update_state(). This requires twake to be non-zero when used
      by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() even if avail_min is zero.

      module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" · 9bea7f23
      Rusty Russell authored
      Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
      request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
      for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
      or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
      one.
      
      In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:
      
      	libcrc32c_mod_init
      	 crypto_alloc_shash
      	  crypto_alloc_tfm
      	   crypto_find_alg
      	    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
      	     crypto_larval_lookup
      	      request_module
      
      If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
      finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
      holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
      until that is released.
      
      Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
      we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
      where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
      need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
      lock.
      
      Other notes:
      1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
         symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
      2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
         external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

      module: verify_export_symbols under the lock · be593f4c
      Rusty Russell authored
      It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
      slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
      hold the lock the whole time.
      
      So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just
      before we put the module in the global list.
      
      (find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

      module: move find_module check to end · 3bafeb62
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
      didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
      PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
      ("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
      hold it at all when it did the find_module()).
      
      Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
      to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
      bit.
      
      In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
      later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
      just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
      adding ourselves to the list.

      Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> reports that we still have some

      Linus also disliked a previous "drop lock and regrab" patch to fix the
      bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" message.
      
      This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

      This means a little extra work, but is more logical: we don't put
      anything in sysfs until we're about to put the module into the
      global list an parse its parameters.
      
      This also gives us a logical place to put duplicate module detection
