From: Thomas Gleixner The tasklet is used to defer the execution of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() to the softirq context. Using the HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT mode invokes the timer callback in softirq context as well which renders the tasklet useless.

Did I do it right? v2...v3: updated the comment as per Takashi Sakamoto's suggestion. v1...v2: merged Takashi Sakamoto fixup of the original patch into v2. sound/drivers/dummy.c | 27 ++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) --- a/sound/drivers/dummy.c +++ b/sound/drivers/dummy.c @@ -376,17 +376,9 @@ struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm { ktime_t period_time; atomic_t running; struct hrtimer timer; - struct tasklet_struct tasklet; struct snd_pcm_substream *substream; }; -static void dummy_hrtimer_pcm_elapsed(unsigned long priv) -{ - struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm = (struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *)priv; - if (atomic_read(&dpcm->running)) - snd_pcm_period_elapsed(dpcm->substream); -} - static enum hrtimer_restart dummy_hrtimer_callback(struct hrtimer *timer) { struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm; @@ -394,7 +386,14 @@ static enum hrtimer_restart dummy_hrtime dpcm = container_of(timer, struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm, timer); if (!atomic_read(&dpcm->running)) return HRTIMER_NORESTART; - tasklet_schedule(&dpcm->tasklet); + /* + * In cases of XRUN and draining, this calls .trigger to stop PCM + * substream. + */ + snd_pcm_period_elapsed(dpcm->substream); + if (!atomic_read(&dpcm->running)) + return HRTIMER_NORESTART; + hrtimer_forward_now(timer, dpcm->period_time); return HRTIMER_RESTART; } @@ -404,7 +403,7 @@ static int dummy_hrtimer_start(struct sn struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm = substream->runtime->private_data; dpcm->base_time = hrtimer_cb_get_time(&dpcm->timer); - hrtimer_start(&dpcm->timer, dpcm->period_time, HRTIMER_MODE_REL); + hrtimer_start(&dpcm->timer, dpcm->period_time, HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT); atomic_set(&dpcm->running, 1); return 0; } @@ -414,14 +413,14 @@ static int dummy_hrtimer_stop(struct snd struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm = substream->runtime->private_data; atomic_set(&dpcm->running, 0); - hrtimer_cancel(&dpcm->timer); + if (!hrtimer_callback_running(&dpcm->timer)) + hrtimer_cancel(&dpcm->timer); return 0; } static inline void dummy_hrtimer_sync(struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm) { hrtimer_cancel(&dpcm->timer); - tasklet_kill(&dpcm->tasklet); } static snd_pcm_uframes_t @@ -466,12 +465,10 @@ static int dummy_hrtimer_create(struct s if (!dpcm) return -ENOMEM; substream->runtime->private_data = dpcm; - hrtimer_init(&dpcm->timer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL); + hrtimer_init(&dpcm->timer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT); dpcm->timer.function = dummy_hrtimer_callback; dpcm->substream = substream; atomic_set(&dpcm->running, 0); - tasklet_init(&dpcm->tasklet, dummy_hrtimer_pcm_elapsed, - (unsigned long)dpcm); return 0; }
