Do you really see the zero-division error with sticks=1 fix? That's unexpected.
Yes, just reproduced it again. I am on 0693c28cfc8e25f18c25b65a8942c026f1854a3c of linux-next now, so I already have: commit 6b760bb2c63a9e322c0e4a0b5daf335ad93d5a33 ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE
Compiled the program verbatim and run it using stress utility (http s://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stress namely just runs the program in parallel loop) and instantly get the following crash.
OK, I'll take a deeper look.
The fix patch below seems working on my system. Please give it a try.
Pulled this from linux-next. This should fix both division and stalls, right?
Yes, it looks so. The latter one seems to be the side-effect of the stuck by the first one.
I will let you know if I see any of these again.
Thanks.

When a user timer instance is continued without the explicit start beforehand, the system gets eventually zero-division error like:

Although a similar issue was spotted and a fix patch was merged in commit [6b760bb2c63a: ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE], it seems covering only a part of iceberg.
In this patch, we fix the issue a bit more drastically. Basically the continue of an uninitialized timer is supposed to be a fresh start, so we do it for user timers. For the direct snd_timer_continue() call, there is no way to pass the initial tick value, so we kick out for the uninitialized case.
