[PATCH] dmaengine: pl330: Fix race in residue reporting

[Sjoerd Simons]

When a transfer completes there is a small window between the descriptor
being unset as the current active one in the thread and it being marked
as done. This causes the residue to be incorrectly set when
pl330_tx_status is run in that window. Practically this caused
issue for me with audio playback as the residue goes up during a
transfer (as the in-progress transfer is no longer accounted for),
which makes the higher levels think the audio ringbuffer wrapped around
and thus did a sudden big jump forward.

To resolve this, add a field protected by the dma engine lock to
indicate the transfer is done but the status hasn't been updated yet.

Also fix the locking in pl330_tx_status, as the function inspects the
threads req_running field and queries the dma engine for the current
state of the running transfer the dma engine lock needs to be held to
ensure the active descriptor doesn't change underneath it.

Looking at the code indeed the small window could happen. How can I
reproduce it? Can you describe your system?

As for the change itself, how about adding a new value to desc_status?
Now you are actually introducing a semi-status field.

I'm using a Rock 2 square (RK3288 based) board, running Debian Jessie
and simply playing back audio using vlc & pulseaudio.

For some reason when using vlc, pulseaudio is polling the hw pointer
position very very often and seems to hit this tiny window a few times
a minute depending a bit on system load. This causes some audiable
issues and eventually underflowing (as vlc fills the pulseaudio buffer
at a constant rate, but due to this, pulse pushes the data faster then
the actual playback rate every so often).

The reason i picked this way this was was due to the current locking
scheme. The locking order is channel, then controller (when locking
both). While processing the events (and update the active descriptor),
the controller is locked so the status can't be directly updated (as
that's protected by the channel lock). And we can't grab the channel
lock without dopping the controller one first :).

Keeping one status field might well be possible, but would require at
least reworking the locking here.

Thanks for description, I don't use pulseaudio on my testing setup but
I'll try to reproduce it anyway.

Right, the locking requires new field... If going this way could you
describe this rationale and information about locking a comment? I mean
the answer you gave above - the locking requires such field and that the
field is protected actually by controller lock, not by channel.

On the other hand, I am looking and the code and looking and I wonder:
do you really need to protect writing to the "xferred" field? In
pl330_update() you are setting it to true while getting the list of done
descriptors.
The descriptors done are then removed from the thread.

In that path then you are setting it to false in dma_pl330_rqcb() for
these done descriptors - this should not be executed concurrently with
above.

The dma_pl330_rqcb() is also called from abort and fail paths but these
are use controller's lock (e.g. pl330_dotask()).

Just thinking out loud... maybe I am missing something here.

Krzysztof

Hey Romain,

I submitted this ages ago, but got distracted. Thanks for reviving.
Note that i remember Krzysztof had some review remarks, it's probably
worth digging up the old thread and making sure you address those.

[Sjoerd Simons]

Hey Romain,

I submitted this ages ago, but got distracted. Thanks for reviving.
Note that i remember Krzysztof had some review remarks, it's probably
worth digging up the old thread and making sure you address those.
