This is another attempt to improve further the handling of playback stream in the low latency mode. The latest workaround in commit 4267c5a8f313 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Work around for XRUN with low latency playback") revealed that submitting URBs forcibly in advance may trigger XRUN easily. In the classical mode, this problem was avoided by practically delaying the submission of the actual data with the pre-submissions of silent data before triggering the stream start. But that is exactly what we want to avoid.
Now, in this patch, instead of the previous workaround, we take a similar approach as used in the implicit feedback mode. The URBs are queued at the PCM trigger start like before, but we check whether the buffer has been already filled enough before each submission, and stop queuing if the data overcomes the threshold. The remaining URBs are kept in the ready list, and they will be retrieved in the URB complete callback of other (already queued) URBs. In the complete callback, we try to fill the data and submit as much as possible again. When there is no more available in-flight URBs that may handle the pending data, we'll check in PCM ack callback and submit and process URBs there in addition. In this way, the amount of in-flight URBs may vary dynamically and flexibly depending on the available data without hitting XRUN.
The following things are changed to achieve the behavior above:
* The endpoint prepare callback is changed to return an error code; when there is no enough data available, it may return -EAGAIN. Currently only prepare_playback_urb() returns the error.
The evaluation of the available data is a bit messy here; we can't check with snd_pcm_avail() at the point of prepare callback (as runtime->status->hwptr hasn't been updated yet), hence we manually estimate the appl_ptr and compare with the internal hwptr_done to calculate the available frames.
* snd_usb_endpoint_start() doesn't submit full URBs if the prepare callback returns -EAGAIN, and puts the remaining URBs to the ready list for the later submission.
* snd_complete_urb() treats the URBs in the low-latency mode similarly like the implicit feedback mode, and submissions are done in (now exported) snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs().
* snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() again checks the error value from the prepare callback. If it's -EAGAIN for the normal stream (i.e. not implicit feedback mode), we push it back to the ready list again.
* PCM ack callback is introduced for the playback stream, and it calls snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() if there is no in-flight URB while the stream is running. This corresponds to the case where the system needs the appl_ptr update for re-submitting a new URB.
* snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() and the prepare EP callback receive in_stream_lock argument, which is a bool flag indicating the call path from PCM ack. It's needed for avoiding the deadlock of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() calls.
* Set the new SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag when the new low-latency mode is deployed. This assures catching each applptr update even in the mmap mode.
