linux v5.13 booting on qemu-system-xtensa virt board gets stuck inside snd_intel8x0_probe -> intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock with this patch. Prior to it it boots successfully for me. I'm curious if this issue has been reported yet.
What I see is an IRQ flood, at some point snd_intel8x0_interrupt and timer ISR are called in loop and execution never returns to the interrupted function intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock.
Any idea what it could be?
That's something odd with the VM. As the chip itself has never shown such a problem on real systems, maybe the best action would be to just skip the clock measurement on VM. The measurement itself is unreliable on VM, so it makes more sense.
That said, something like below would work?
It didn't change anything in my case. My further observation is that the snd_intel8x0_update is called before the ichdev->prepared is set to one and as a result IRQ is apparently never cleared. Perhaps because intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock is called from the snd_intel8x0_probe, well before the snd_intel8x0_pcm_prepare that sets ichdev->prepared is called.
thanks,
