Hi, Takashi: Thanks for correcting my mistake.

It fixes the following case: Two FEs connects the same BE; FE1 & BE path has been opened and hw_paramed.At this momment, FE2 & BE path is being opened and hw_paramed. The BE dai will do hw_param again even if it has done hw_param. It is not reasonable. FE1------------>BE FE2-------------^
What happens if FE2 tries to set up an incompatible hw_params? (Through a quick glance, it won't work properly well, too, though...)
The intention in this case would be for the DSP FE driver to determine if it can perform format conversion or SRC to the running BE. If the DSP cant do the conversion then it should fail.
If FE2 uses an incompatible param, it will make FE1 doesn't work. Maybe FE2 works well. If FE2 uses the same param, BE hw_param function will be called twice (This is the most happening case). So we can't get benefits from it.
We shouldn't be calling the hw_params() on the BE when it's already configured in this case. So this seems like a bug. However :-
/* only allow hw_params() if no connected FEs are running */ if (!snd_soc_dpcm_can_be_params(fe, be, stream)) continue;
if ((be->dpcm[stream].state != SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_OPEN) && (be->dpcm[stream].state != SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_HW_PARAMS) && (be->dpcm[stream].state != SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_HW_FREE)) continue;We do do a test to check if any connected FEs are running (i.e. triggered) prior to calling hw_params() on the BE. Can you confirm if the FE was running in your case ?
Hi, Liam: I am so glad to hear from you. In my case, FE1 has called hw_param, and before FE1 calls prepare/trigger function, the scheduler switches to do FE2 open, hw_param. So hw_param is called twice.
Thanks
