Current implementation of ALSA PCM core has a kernel API, snd_pcm_period_elapsed(), for drivers to awaken user processes from waiting for available frames. The function voluntarily acquires lock of PCM substream, therefore it is not called in process context for any PCM operation since the lock is already acquired.
It is convenient for packet-oriented driver, at least for drivers to audio and music unit in IEEE 1394 bus. The drivers are allowed by Linux FireWire subsystem to process isochronous packets queued till recent isochronous cycle in process context in any time.
This commit adds snd_pcm_period_elapsed() variant, snd_pcm_period_elapsed_without_lock(), for drivers to call in the process context.

/**
- snd_pcm_period_elapsed - update the pcm status for the next period
- @substream: the pcm substream instance
- snd_pcm_period_elapsed_under_stream_lock() - update the status of runtime for the next period
under acquired lock of PCM substream.
- @substream: the instance of pcm substream.
- This function is called when the batch of audio data frames as the same size as the period of
- buffer is already processed in audio data transmission.
- The call of function updates the status of runtime with the latest position of audio data
- transmission, checks overrun and underrun over buffer, awaken user processes from waiting for
- available audio data frames, sampling audio timestamp, and performs stop or drain the PCM
- substream according to configured threshold.
- The function is intended to use for the case that PCM driver operates audio data frames under
- acquired lock of PCM substream; e.g. in callback of any operation of &snd_pcm_ops in process
- context. In any interrupt context, it's preferrable to use ``snd_pcm_period_elapsed()`` instead
- since lock of PCM substream should be acquired in advance.
- This function is called from the interrupt handler when the
- PCM has processed the period size. It will update the current
- pointer, wake up sleepers, etc.
- Developer should pay enough attention that some callbacks in &snd_pcm_ops are done by the call of
- function:
- Even if more than one periods have elapsed since the last call, you
- have to call this only once.
- .pointer - to retrieve current position of audio data transmission by frame count or XRUN state.
- .trigger - with SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP at XRUN or DRAINING state.
- .get_time_info - to retrieve audio time stamp if needed.
- Even if more than one periods have elapsed since the last call, you have to call this only once.
- Context: Any context in which lock of PCM substream is already acquired. This function may not
- sleep.
Hm, this text still remains here. Overlooked?
