Hi,
This patchset is a part of series of patches for all of drivers in ALSA firewire stack to reserve/release isochronous resources in pcm.hw_params/hw_free callbacks.
In current implementation, the resources are reserved at the same time to start packet streaming, and released at the same time to stop packet streaming. However, once allocated, the resources are available independent of lifetime of each of packet streaming.
The isochronous resources are the resources of IEEE 1394 bus. On the other side of view, it's a kind of resources of hardware to maintain the bus (isochronous resource manager). For this kind of reservation and release, hw_params and hw_free operations are suitable in ALSA PCM interface.
Ideally, the operation to reserve/release isochronous resource should be separated from the operation to start/stop packet streaming. However, IEEE 1394 bus has reset event. Once reset occurs, isochronous resource manager releases allocated resources. The resources should be reallocated by requesters themselves. For this reason, in this patchset, bus generation is checked before starting packet streaming. If generation is updated, reallocation is requested to isochronous resource manager, then packet streaming starts.
