[PATCH v3] ALSA: virtio: use ack callback

Matias Ezequiel Vara Larsen
Mon, 23 Oct 2023 15:06:57 -0000

This commit uses the ack() callback to determine when a buffer has been
updated, then exposes it to guest.

The current mechanism splits a dma buffer into descriptors that are
exposed to the device. This dma buffer is shared with the user
application. When the device consumes a buffer, the driver moves the
request from the used ring to available ring.

The driver exposes the buffer to the device without knowing if the
content has been updated from the user. The section 2.8.21.1 of the
virtio spec states that: "The device MAY access the descriptor chains
the driver created and the memory they refer to immediately". If the
device picks up buffers from the available ring just after it is
notified, it happens that the content may be old.

When the ack() callback is invoked, the driver exposes only the buffers
that have already been updated, i.e., enqueued in the available ring.
Thus, the device always picks up a buffer that is updated.

For capturing, the driver starts by exposing all the available buffers
to device. After device updates the content of a buffer, it enqueues it
in the used ring. It is only after the ack() for capturing is issued
that the driver re-enqueues the buffer in the available ring.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
 * Use ack() callback instead of copy()/fill_silence()
 * Change commit name
 * Rewrite commit message
 * Remove virtsnd_pcm_msg_send_locked()
 * Use single callback for both capture and playback
 * Fix kernel test robot warnings regarding documentation
 * v2 patch at:
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87y1fzkq8c.wl-tiwai at suse.de/T/
v1 -> v2:
 * Use snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer_all()for buffer allocation/freeing.
 * Make virtsnd_pcm_msg_send() generic by specifying the offset and size
   for the modified part of the buffer; this way no assumptions need to
   be made.
 * Disable SNDRV_PCM_INFO_NO_REWINDS since now only sequential
   reading/writing of frames is supported.
 * Correct comment at virtsnd_pcm_msg_send().
 * v1 patch at:
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231016151000.GE119987 at fedora/t/
