[PATCH v2 1/1] ASoC: soc-core: check rate for symmetry only when pcm is active

[PATCH v2 1/1] ASoC: soc-core: check rate for symmetry only when pcm is active

[Dong Aisheng]

For the playback and record using different dai links,
checking !rtd->rate for symmetry may not be accurate because that
pcm may be acutually not running and the default new open rate is 0,
then the warning message "Not enforcing symmetric_rates" will
happen each time with running arecord | aplay.

Now we only check rate for symmetry when the pcm is really active
which seems more sensible.

I don't think the patch in it's current form is a good idea. All it does is
silencing the warning instead of addressing the real issue. The issue at hand
here is, that the same DAI is connected to two other DAIs and the thus shared
between two PCMs. The shared DAI requires symmetric rates. This is something
that is not covered by the current code, since it assumes that a DAI is not
shared between different PCMs. So with this patch the warning will be gone, but
it is still possible that the capture and playback stream of the DAI to be
configured to run at different rates, which will obviously unwanted behavior.

A more sensible solution would in my opinion be to save the current rate in the
dai struct itself and not in the pcm struct. Upon opening a stream check for
cpu and codec DAI whether they require symmetry. If they do and are active
constraint the rate to DAIs rate. This also ensures that if boths DAIs are
already active and are running at different rates there will be no valid rate
for the new stream.

We need to store in all three places I think - the symmetry requirement
can also come from the link itself.  But generally this is what we're
actually looking for, yes.

It should be sufficient to just store the rate for the cpu and codec DAI.
Though the rate constraint should be applied if either the DAI or the link
wants symmetric rates.

Yes, for the actual rate storage.

Although I think that's another issue and it's a special using case.
But I think it would be good if we can fix that issue by covering this wrong
warning message issue also.

I have made another patch based on your idea and will send it out as RFC soon.
