ESI Juli@ crash with external clock switch - patch

ESI Juli@ crash with external clock switch - patch

[Pavel Hofman]

Hi,

I have investigated a crash/kernel thread lockup when Juli@ is switched 
to external SPDIF clock and the incoming SPDIF stream changes 
samplerate. The problem appears to occur in the timed thread in charge 
of reading incoming samplerate and acting upon its change.

The problem disappears with the following patch:

diff --git a/sound/i2c/other/ak4114.c b/sound/i2c/other/ak4114.c

         ak4114_init_regs(chip);

         chip->init = 0;

I am afraid I do not know enough about kernel workqueues to determine 
whether this "fix" is OK.

Interestingly, the almost identical driver ak4113.c for a very similar 
card Infrasonic Quartet (ice1724/quartet.c) does not suffer from this 
problem (tested now).

Thanks a lot for your opinion.

Best regards,

Pavel Hofman.

Does the patch below work instead?  The reason it appears only on
Juli@ is that juli@ is the only board using this function.


thanks,

Thanks a lot for your Sunday response. Unfortunately this patch does not 
help, again stuck in the flush_delayed work call - see stack trace below.

> Juli@ is that juli@ is the only board using this function.

I see, snd_ak4113_reinit of ak4113.c is never called, only 
ak4113_init_regs. Perhaps Juli should not touch the workqueue in 
ak4114_reinit and only initialize the regs in similar manner to ak4113?

But then should we restart the workqueue in juli_resume or just reinit 
ak4114 regs? Quartet does not have the resume functionality implemented 
at all yet.

The following patch removing any workqueue functions seems to work too 
(making it the same functionality as in quartet - only reinitializing 
ak411x registers). The workqueue gets executed since upon changing the 
incoming rate the running capture is stopped. The recorded file stops 
growing but arecord does not stop, must be killed with kill -9. Not a 
problem for now.

OK, then this should be cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead, I suppose.
The revised patch (also for ak4113.c) below.

No, it's just quartet driver doesn't handle it properly :)

It doesn't matter much because PM doesn't work with Quartet.
But the juli.c also should be improved regarding PM.  It should stop
the workq at suspend.  Also, it'd be preferable to have some control
start/stop this background work, e.g. via a control element.
Otherwise your machine will be constantly loaded unnecessarily.

I'll prepare a fix patch to these later.

I am afraid it is getting stuck in the same way - see the thread stack 
below.

Why is actually the restart of the workqueue needed at reinit? The work 
(snd_ak4114_check_rate_and_errors) only reads ak4114 regs to controls 
(using i2c routine synchronized with mutexes) and handles the stream stop.

I think we can extend the timer, perhaps to HZ/2 - the thread is just a 
security measure anyway.

Yeah, restart is necessary only in a certain situation, and is a bug
that is done through work itself.  This was the cause.  I'll prepare
fix patches later.

The HZ/10 isn't that bad, but the problem is that it's unconditionally
running even if user doesn't need/want.

I wish I could help but unfortunately my practical knowledge of kernel
workqueues is close to zero :-( Of course I will test the patches and
will extend them for quartet with testing too.

It is useful only for the external clock mode. In fact the detection of
incoming SPDIF rate is not reliable for internal clock in Juli (while it
works just fine in Quartet, its FPGA pins configure the SPDIF receiver
differently). IMO the thread could be running only when clock is
switched to external.

Thanks a lot,

Pavel

How about the patch below?  This is a quick fix for 3.19 (and
stable).  More better fixes will follow later once after it's
confirmed to work.

Yeah, we can do some smart task change in addition to manual on/off.
Maybe it's good to have an enum control for that.

Hi,

Thanks a lot, the patch seems to run fine. Only ak4114_init_regs has to 
be called every samplerate change, otherwise the receiver does not 
re-run the samplerate detection and its register with detected 
samplerate does not update its value.

The following patch seems to run ok:

I am not sure users would want/need to disable a feature which detects 
incoming samplerate. IMO if the work thread is running only in the 
external clock mode, nothing more is needed.

Thanks a lot and regards,

Pavel.

OK, I'm going to send a fix series including the relevant correction.
Give it a try later.

Hm, but you can still see the other attributes of SPDIF input frames,
right?  Or all these useless when the clock is set to internal?
If so, it'd be easy to add the dynamic turn on/off per the clock
mode.

Thanks a lot for the patches, the external rate switching on Juli now 
works perfectly (not tested on Quartet yet). One can tell you are 
seasoned in kernel development, I would get lost in the synchronization 
and workqueue facilities.

You are right, that would disable update of other controls informing 
about incoming SPDIF details. These are useful in internal clock mode 
too - if the soundcard is master for the spdif chain. A new control 
would make sense then.

I am leaving for a week, then I will test quartet and the PM features.

Again, thanks a lot for the patches.

Alright.

There should be no change regarding quartet, also about PM.
The patches doesn't add the PM support to quartet, but rather
robustify only the PM of Juli@ (and ak4113/4114 codec side support).

In anyway, I'm going to merge them once when you confirm them
working.


thanks,

Takashi

I confirm the patches are working both for Juli and Quartet. Juli tested 
also for pm-suspend, working fine after resume.

Thanks a lot,
