As reported in the bugzilla below, the PM resume of a UAC3 device may
fail due to the incomplete power state change, stuck at D1. The
reason is that the driver expects the full D0 power state change only
at hw_params, while the normal PCM resume procedure doesn't call
hw_params.
For fixing the bug, we add the same power state update to D0 at the
prepare callback, which is certainly called by the resume procedure.
Note that, with this change, the power state change in the hw_params
becomes almost redundant, since snd_usb_hw_params() doesn't touch the
parameters (at least it tires so). But dropping it is still a bit
risky (e.g. we have the media-driver binding), so I leave the D0 power
state change in snd_usb_hw_params() as is for now.

The recent support of low latency playback in USB-audio driver made
the snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() function to be called via PCM
ack ops. In the new code path, the function is performed already in
the PCM stream lock. The problem is that, when an XRUN is detected,
the function calls snd_pcm_xrun() to notify, but snd_pcm_xrun() is
supposed to be called only outside the stream lock. As a result, it
leads to a deadlock of PCM stream locking.
For avoiding such a recursive locking, this patch adds an additional
check to the code paths in PCM core that call the ack callback; now it
checks the error code from the callback, and if it's -EPIPE, the XRUN
is handled in the PCM core side gracefully. Along with it, the
USB-audio driver code is changed to follow that, i.e. -EPIPE is
returned instead of the explicit snd_pcm_xrun() call when the function
is performed already in the stream lock.

Although we applied a workaround for the hw constraints code with the
implicit feedback sync, it still has a potential problem. Namely, as
the code treats only the first matching (sync) endpoint, it might be
too restrictive when multiple endpoints are listed in the substream's
format list.
This patch is another attempt to improve the hw constraint handling
for the implicit feedback sync. The code is rewritten and the sync EP
handling for the rate and the format is put inside the fmt_list loop
in each hw_rule_*() function instead of the additional rules. The
rules for the period size and periods are extended to loop over the
fmt_list like others, and they apply the constraints only if needed.

The fix commit the commit e4ea77f8e53f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Always apply
the hw constraints for implicit fb sync") tried to address the bug
where an incorrect PCM parameter is chosen when two (implicit fb)
streams are set up at the same time. This change had, however, some
side effect: once when the sync endpoint is chosen and set up, this
restriction is applied at the next hw params unless it's freed via hw
free explicitly.
This patch is a workaround for the problem by relaxing the hw
constraints a bit for the implicit fb sync. We still keep applying
the hw constraints for implicit fb sync, but only when the matching
sync EP is being used by other streams.

At the PCM hw params, we may re-configure the endpoints and it's done
by a temporary EP close followed by re-open. A potential problem
there is that the EP might be already running internally at the PCM
prepare stage; it's seen typically in the playback stream with the
implicit feedback sync. As this stream start isn't tracked by the
core PCM layer, we'd need to stop it explicitly, and that's the
missing piece.
This patch adds the stop_endpoints() call at snd_usb_hw_params() to
assure the stream stop before closing the EPs.

Under certain situations (typically in the implicit feedback mode),
USB-audio driver starts a playback stream already at PCM prepare call
even before the actual PCM trigger-START call. For implicit feedback
mode, this effectively starts two streams for data and sync
endpoints, and if a coupled sync stream gets XRUN at this point, it
results in an error -EPIPE.
The problem is that currently we return -EPIPE error as is from the
prepare. Then application tries to recover again via the prepare
call, but it'll fail again because the sync-stop is missing. The
sync-stop is missing because it's an internal trigger call (hence the
PCM core isn't involved).
Since we'll need to re-issue the prepare in anyway when trapped into
this pitfall, this patch attempts to address it in a bit different
way; namely, the driver tries to prepare once again after syncing the
stop manually by itself -- so applications don't see the internal
error. At the second failure, we report the error as is, but this
shouldn't happen in normal situations.

This is a second attempt to fix the bug appearing on Android with the
recent kernel; the first try was ff878b408a03 and reverted at commit
79764ec772bc.
The details taken from the v1 patch:
One of the former changes for the endpoint management was the more
consistent setup of endpoints at hw_params.
snd_usb_endpoint_configure() is a single function that does the full
setup, and it's called from both PCM hw_params and prepare callbacks.
Although the EP setup at the prepare phase is usually skipped (by
checking need_setup flag), it may be still effective in some cases
like suspend/resume that requires the interface setup again.
As it's a full and single setup, the invocation of
snd_usb_endpoint_configure() includes not only the USB interface setup
but also the buffer release and allocation. OTOH, doing the buffer
release and re-allocation at PCM prepare phase is rather superfluous,
and better to be done only in the hw_params phase.
For those optimizations, this patch splits the endpoint setup to two
phases: snd_usb_endpoint_set_params() and snd_usb_endpoint_prepare(),
to be called from hw_params and from prepare, respectively.
Note that this patch changes the driver operation slightly,
effectively moving the USB interface setup again to PCM prepare stage
instead of hw_params stage, while the buffer allocation and such
initializations are still done at hw_params stage.
And, the change of the USB interface setup timing (moving to prepare)
gave an interesting "fix", too: it was reported that the recent
kernels caused silent output at the beginning on playbacks on some
devices on Android, and this change casually fixed the regression.
It seems that those devices are picky about the sample rate change (or
the interface change?), and don't follow the too immediate rate
changes.
Meanwhile, Android operates the PCM in the following order:
- open, then hw_params with the possibly highest sample rate
- close without prepare
- re-open, hw_params with the normal sample rate
- prepare, and start streaming
This procedure ended up the hw_params twice with different rates, and
because the recent kernel did set up the sample rate twice one and
after, it screwed up the device. OTOH, the earlier kernels didn't set
up the USB interface at hw_params, hence this problem didn't appear.
Now, with this patch, the USB interface setup is again back to the
prepare phase, and it works around the problem automagically.
Although we should address the sample rate problem in a more solid
way in future, let's keep things working as before for now.
***
What's new in the take#2 patch:
- The regression caused by the v1 patch (bko#216500) was due to the
missing check of need_setup flag at hw_params. Now the check is
added, and the snd_usb_endpoint_set_params() call is skipped when
the running EP is re-opened.
- There was another bug in v1 where the clock reference rate wasn't
updated at hw_params phase, which may lead to a lack of the proper
hw constraints when an application doesn't issue the prepare but
only the hw_params call. This patch fixes it as well by tracking
the clock rate change in the prepare callback with a new flag
"need_update" for the clock reference object, just like others.
- The configure_endpoints() are simplified and folded back into
snd_usb_pcm_prepare().

Focusrite Saffire 6 has fixed audioformat quirks with multiple
endpoints assigned to a single altsetting. Unfortunately the generic
parser couldn't detect the sync endpoint correctly as the implicit
sync due to the missing EP attribute bits. In the former kernels, it
used to work somehow casually, but it's been broken for a while after
the large code change in 5.11.
This patch cures the regression by the following:
- Allow the static quirk table to provide the sync EP information;
we just need to fill the fields and let the generic parser skipping
parsing if sync_ep is already set.
- Add the sync endpoint information to the entry for Saffire 6.

When ep_idx is already non-zero, it means usually a capture stream
that is set up explicity by a fixed-format quirk, and applying the
check for generic (non-implicit-fb) sync EPs might hit incorrectly,
resulting in a bogus sync endpoint for the capture stream.
This patch adds a check for the ep_idx and skip if it's a secondary
endpoint. It's a part of the fixes for regressions on Saffire 6.

In the previous fix, we increased the max buffer bytes from 1MB to 4MB
so that we can use bigger buffers for the modern HiFi devices with
higher rates, more channels and wider formats. OTOH, extending this
has a concern that too big buffer is allowed for the lower rates, less
channels and narrower formats; when an application tries to allocate
as big buffer as possible, it'll lead to unexpectedly too huge size.
Also, we had a problem about the inconsistent max buffer and period
bytes for the implicit feedback mode when both streams have different
channels. This was fixed by the (relatively complex) patch to reduce
the max buffer and period bytes accordingly.
This is an alternative fix for those, a patch to kill two birds with
one stone (*): instead of increasing the max buffer bytes blindly and
applying the reduction per channels, we simply use the hw constraints
for the buffer and period "time". Meanwhile the max buffer and period
bytes are set unlimited instead.
Since the inconsistency of buffer (and period) bytes comes from the
difference of the channels in the tied streams, as long as we care
only about the buffer (and period) time, it doesn't matter; the buffer
time is same for different channels, although we still allow higher
buffer size. Similarly, this will allow more buffer bytes for HiFi
devices while it also keeps the reasonable size for the legacy
devices, too.
As of this patch, the max period and buffer time are set to 1 and 2
seconds, which should be large enough for all possible use cases.
(*) No animals were harmed in the making of this patch.

In the implicit feedback mode, some parameters are tied between both
playback and capture streams. One of the tied parameters is the
period size, and this can be a problem if the device has different
number of channels to both streams. Assume that an application opens
a playback stream that has an implicit feedback from a capture stream,
and it allocates up to the max period and buffer size as much as
possible. When the capture device supports only more channels than
the playback, the minimum period and buffer sizes become larger than
the sizes the playback stream took. That is, the minimum size will be
over the max size the driver limits, and PCM core sees as if no
available configuration is found, returning -EINVAL mercilessly.
For avoiding this problem, we have to look through the counter part of
audioformat list for each sync ep, and checks the channels. If more
channels are found there, we reduce the max period and buffer sizes
accordingly.
You may wonder that the patch adds only the evaluation of channels
between streams, and what about other parameters? Both the format and
the rate are tied in the implicit fb mode, hence they are always
identical.

The recent regression report revealed that the judgment of the
low-latency playback mode based on the runtime->stop_threshold cannot
work reliably at the prepare stage, as sw_params call may happen at
any time, and PCM dmix actually sets it up after the prepare call.
This ended up with the stall of the stream as PCM ack won't be issued
at all.
For addressing this, check the free-wheeling mode again at the PCM
trigger right before starting the stream again, and allow switching to
the non-LL mode at a late stage.

The recent support for the improved low-latency playback mode applied
the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag for the target streams, but this
was a slight overkill. The use of the flag above disables effectively
both PCM status and control mmaps, while basically what we want to
track is only about the appl_ptr update.
For less restriction, use a more proper flag,
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_APPLPTR instead, which disables only the control
mmap.

While draining a stream, ALSA PCM core stops the stream by issuing
snd_pcm_stop() after all data has been sent out. And, at PCM trigger
stop, currently USB-audio driver kills the in-flight URBs explicitly,
then at sync-stop ops, sync with the finish of all remaining URBs.
This might result in a drop of the drained samples as most of
USB-audio devices / hosts allow relatively long in-flight samples (as
a sort of FIFO).
For avoiding the trimming, this patch changes the stream-stop behavior
during PCM draining state. Under that condition, the pending URBs
won't be killed. The leftover in-flight URBs are caught by the
sync-stop operation that shall be performed after the trigger-stop
operation.

This is another attempt to improve further the handling of playback
stream in the low latency mode. The latest workaround in commit
4267c5a8f313 ("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.

This is yet more preparation for the upcoming changes.
Extend snd_usb_endpoint_next_packet_size() to check the available
frames and return -EAGAIN if the next packet size is equal or exceeds
the given size. This will be needed for avoiding XRUN during the low
latency operation.
As of this patch, avail=0 is passed, i.e. the check is skipped and no

When a playback stream runs in the implicit feedback mode, its
operation is passive and won't start unless the capture packet is
received. This behavior contradicts with the low-latency playback
mode, and we should turn off lowlatency_playback flag accordingly.
In theory, we may take the low-latency mode when the playback-first
quirk is set, but it still conflicts with the later operation with the
fixed packet numbers, so it's disabled all together for now.

This is a preparation patch for the upcoming low-latency improvement
changes.
Rename early_playback_start flag with lowlatency_playback as it's more
intuitive. The new flag is basically a reverse meaning.
Along with the rename, factor out the code to set the flag to a
function. This makes the complex condition checks simpler.
Also, the same flag is introduced to snd_usb_endpoint, too, that is
carried from the snd_usb_substream flag. Currently the endpoint flag
isn't still referred, but will be used in later patches.

When a single clock source is shared among several endpoints, we have
to keep the same rate on all active endpoints as long as the clock is
being used. For dealing with such a case, this patch adds one more
check in the hw params constraint for the rate to take the shared
clocks into account. The current rate is evaluated from the endpoint
list that applies the same clock source.

For making user to switch back to the old playback mode, this patch
adds a new module option 'lowlatency' to snd-usb-audio driver.
When user face a regression due to the recent low-latency playback
support, they can test easily by passing lowlatency=0 option without
rebuilding the kernel.

The recent change for low latency playback works in most of test cases
but it turned out still to hit errors on some use cases, most notably
with JACK with small buffer sizes. This is because USB-audio driver
fills up and submits full URBs at the beginning, while the URBs would
return immediately and try to fill more -- that can easily trigger
XRUN. It was more or less expected, but in the small buffer size, the
problem became pretty obvious.
Fixing this behavior properly would require the change of the
fundamental driver design, so it's no trivial task, unfortunately.
Instead, here we work around the problem just by switching back to the
old method when the given configuration is too fragile with the low
latency stream handling. As a threshold, we calculate the total
buffer bytes in all plus one URBs, and check whether it's beyond the
PCM buffer bytes. The one extra URB is needed because XRUN happens at
the next submission after the first round.

This is another attempt for the reduction of the latency at the start
of a USB audio playback stream. The first attempt in the commit
9ce650a75a3b caused an unexpected regression (a deadlock with pipewire
usage) and was later reverted by the commit 4b820e167bf6. The devils
are always living in details, of course; the cause of the deadlock was
the call of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() inside prepare_playback_urb()
callback. In the original code, this callback is never called from
the stream lock context as it's driven solely from the URB complete
callback. Along with the movement of the URB submission into the
trigger START, this prepare call may be also executed in the stream
lock context, hence it deadlocked with the another lock in
snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). (Note that this happens only conditionally
with a small period size that matches with the URB buffer length,
which was a reason I overlooked during my tests. Also, the problem
wasn't seen in the capture stream because the capture stream handles
the period-elapsed only at retire callback that isn't executed at the
trigger.)
If it were only about avoiding the deadlock, it'd be possible to use
snd_pcm_period_elapsed_under_stream_lock() as a solution. However, in
general, the period elapsed notification must be sent after the actual
stream start, and replacing the call wouldn't satisfy the pattern.
A better option is to delay the notification after the stream start
procedure finished, instead. In the case of USB framework, one of the
fitting place would be the complete callback of the first URB.
So, as a workaround of the deadlock and the order fixes above, in
addition to the re-applying the changes in the commit 9ce650a75a3,
this patch introduces a new flag indicating the delayed period-elapsed
handling and sets it under the possible deadlock condition
(i.e. prepare callback being called before subs->running is set).
Once when the flag is set, the period-elapsed call is handled at a
later URB complete call instead.
As a reference for the original motivation for the low-latency change,
I cite here again:
| USB-audio driver behaves a bit strangely for the playback stream --
| namely, it starts sending silent packets at PCM prepare state while
| the actual data is submitted at first when the trigger START is
| kicked off. This is a workaround for the behavior where URBs are
| processed too quickly at the beginning. That is, if we start

|

The PCM delay accounting in USB-audio driver is a bit complex to
follow, and this is an attempt to improve the readability and provide
some potential fix.
Basically, the PCM position delay is calculated from two factors: the
in-flight data on URBs and the USB frame counter. For the playback
stream, we advance the hwptr already at submitting URBs. Those
"in-flight" data amount is now tracked, and this is used as the base
value for the PCM delay correction. The in-flight data is decreased
again at URB completion in return. For the capture stream, OTOH,
there is no in-flight data, hence the delay base is zero.
The USB frame counter is used in addition for correcting the current
position. The reference frame counter is updated at each submission
and receiving time, and the difference from the current counter value
is taken into account.
In this patch, each in-flight data bytes is recorded in the new
snd_usb_ctx.queued field, and the total in-flight amount is tracked in
snd_usb_substream.inflight_bytes field, as the replacement of
last_delay field.
Note that updating the hwptr after URB completion doesn't work for
PulseAudio who tries to scratch the buffer on the fly; USB-audio is
basically a double-buffer implementation, hence the scratching the
buffer can't work for the already submitted data. So we always update
hwptr beforehand. It's not ideal, but the delay account should give
enough correctness.

The recent fix for the hw constraints for implicit feedback streams
via commit e4ea77f8e53f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Always apply the hw
constraints for implicit fb sync") added the check of the matching
endpoints and whether those EPs are already opened. This is needed
and correct, per se, even for the normal streams without the implicit
feedback, as the endpoint setup is exclusive.
However, it's reported that there seem applications that behave in
unexpected ways to update the hw_params without clearing the previous
setup via hw_free, and those hit a problem now: then hw_params is
called with still the previous EP setup kept, hence it's restricted
with the previous own setup. Although the obvious fix is to call
snd_pcm_hw_free() API in the application side, it's a kind of
unwelcome change.
This patch tries to ease the situation: in the endpoint check, we add
a couple of more conditions and now skip the endpoint that is being
used only by the stream in question itself. That is, in addition to
the presence check of ep (ep->cur_audiofmt is non-NULL), when the
following conditions are met, we skip such an ep:
- ep->opened == 1, and
- ep->cur_audiofmt == subs->cur_audiofmt.
subs->cur_audiofmt is non-NULL only if it's a re-setup of hw_params,
and ep->cur_audiofmt points to the currently set up parameters. So if
those match, it must be this stream itself.

In the later patch, we're going to issue the PCM sync_stop calls at
disconnection. But currently the USB-audio driver can't handle it
because it has a check of shutdown flag for stopping the URBs. This
is basically superfluous (the stopping URBs are safe at disconnection
state), so let's drop the check.

This patch corrects the device reference accordingly.
Note that, on most platforms, both point to the very same device,
hence this patch doesn't change anything practically. But on

Since the recent refactoring, it's been reported that some USB-audio
devices (typically webcams) are no longer detected properly by
PulseAudio. The debug session revealed that it's failing at probing
by PA to try the sample rate 44.1kHz while the device has discrete
sample rates other than 44.1kHz. But the puzzle was that arecord
works as is, and some other devices with the discrete rates work,
either.
After all, this turned out to be the lack of the dependencies in a few
hw constraint rules: snd_pcm_hw_rule_add() has the (variable)
arguments specifying the dependent parameters, and some functions
didn't set the target parameter itself as the dependencies. This
resulted in an invalid parameter that could be generated only in a
certain call pattern. This bug itself has been present in the code,
but it didn't trigger errors just because the rules were casually
avoiding such a corner case. After the recent refactoring and
cleanup, however, the hw constraints work "as expected", and the
problem surfaced now.
For fixing the problem above, this patch adds the missing dependent
parameters to each snd_pcm_hw_rule() call.

Since the commit 5a6c3e11c9c9 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Add hw constraint for
implicit fb sync"), we apply the hw constraints for the implicit
feedback sync to make the secondary open aligned with the already
opened stream setup. This change assumed that the secondary open is
performed after the first stream has been already set up, and adds the
hw constraints to sync with the first stream's parameters only when
the EP setup for the first stream was confirmed at the open time.
However, most of applications handling the full-duplex operations do
open both playback and capture streams at first, then set up both
streams. This results in skipping the additional hw constraints since
the counter-part stream hasn't been set up yet at the open of the
second stream, and it eventually leads to "incompatible EP" error in
the end.
This patch corrects the behavior by always applying the hw constraints
for the implicit fb sync. The hw constraint rules are defined so that
they check the sync EP dynamically at each invocation, instead. This
covers the concurrent stream setups better and lets the hw refine
calls resolving to the right configuration.
Also this patch corrects a minor error that has existed in the debug
print that isn't built as default.

The code dealing with the implicit feedback mode grew recently, and
it's becoming messy. As we receive more and more devices that need
the similar handling, it's better to be processed through a table
instead of the open code.
This patch moves the code that is relevant with parsing the implicit
feedback mode and some helpers into another file, implicit.c. The
detection and the setup of the implicit feedback sync EPs are
rewritten to use the ID/class matching table instead.
There should be no functional changes.
