Hi,
I have following questions in the compressed offload framework API.
static int soc_compr_set_params_fe(struct snd_compr_stream *cstream, struct snd_compr_params *params) { ... hw_params = kzalloc(sizeof(*hw_params), GFP_KERNEL); if (hw_params == NULL) return -ENOMEM; /*1st question is, what is the use of above allocated memory I do not see this being used in this function*/
The code you're quoting there isn't in mainline. I've also added Vinod to the CCs, you probably want to include him in any discussion of the compressed API.
That's right, this is from DPCM compressed updated done by Liam, so he is the best person to comment on this bit, and somehow his address in CC has gone bad, i have added him in to list
But yes looking at the source, i agree that two are interlinked. I guess we need to poupulate the hw_params and then use that to copy, that would be the right thing to do here and yes this is not correct and not sure how this is working...
