Takashi Iwai ff39117fac ALSA: usb-audio: Improved lowlatency playback support 
commit d5f871f89e upstream.

This is another attempt to improve further the handling of playback
stream in the low latency mode.  The latest workaround in commit
4267c5a8f3 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Work around for XRUN with low latency
playback") revealed that submitting URBs forcibly in advance may
trigger XRUN easily.  In the classical mode, this problem was avoided
by practically delaying the submission of the actual data with the
pre-submissions of silent data before triggering the stream start.
But that is exactly what we want to avoid.

Now, in this patch, instead of the previous workaround, we take a
similar approach as used in the implicit feedback mode.  The URBs are
queued at the PCM trigger start like before, but we check whether the
buffer has been already filled enough before each submission, and
stop queuing if the data overcomes the threshold.  The remaining URBs
are kept in the ready list, and they will be retrieved in the URB
complete callback of other (already queued) URBs.  In the complete
callback, we try to fill the data and submit as much as possible
again.  When there is no more available in-flight URBs that may handle
the pending data, we'll check in PCM ack callback and submit and
process URBs there in addition.  In this way, the amount of in-flight
URBs may vary dynamically and flexibly depending on the available data
without hitting XRUN.

The following things are changed to achieve the behavior above:

* The endpoint prepare callback is changed to return an error code;
  when there is no enough data available, it may return -EAGAIN.
  Currently only prepare_playback_urb() returns the error.

  The evaluation of the available data is a bit messy here; we can't
  check with snd_pcm_avail() at the point of prepare callback (as
  runtime->status->hwptr hasn't been updated yet), hence we manually
  estimate the appl_ptr and compare with the internal hwptr_done to
  calculate the available frames.

* snd_usb_endpoint_start() doesn't submit full URBs if the prepare
  callback returns -EAGAIN, and puts the remaining URBs to the ready
  list for the later submission.

* snd_complete_urb() treats the URBs in the low-latency mode similarly
  like the implicit feedback mode, and submissions are done in
  (now exported) snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs().

* snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() again checks the error value
  from the prepare callback.  If it's -EAGAIN for the normal stream
  (i.e. not implicit feedback mode), we push it back to the ready list
  again.

* PCM ack callback is introduced for the playback stream, and it calls
  snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() if there is no in-flight URB
  while the stream is running.  This corresponds to the case where the
  system needs the appl_ptr update for re-submitting a new URB.

* snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() and the prepare EP callback
  receive in_stream_lock argument, which is a bool flag indicating the
  call path from PCM ack.  It's needed for avoiding the deadlock of
  snd_pcm_period_elapsed() calls.

* Set the new SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag when the new
  low-latency mode is deployed.  This assures catching each applptr
  update even in the mmap mode.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
