At least, it's better for us to add enough comments to inform it to developers.
Well, I thought it well informed about the disconnection procedure. Maybe the term "lower level driver" needs to be more explicit.
I updated the patch description and added a couple of notes for explaining your concerns.
thanks,
Takashi
-- 8< -- From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: add snd_card_disconnect_sync()
In case of user unbind ALSA driver during playing back / capturing, each driver needs to stop and remove it correctly. One note here is that we can't cancel from remove function in such case, because unbind operation doesn't check return value from remove function. So, we *must* stop and remove in this case.
For this purpose, we need to sync (= wait) until the all top-level operations are canceled at remove function. For example, snd_card_free() processes the disconnection procedure at first, then waits for the completion. That's how the hot-unplug works safely. It's implemented, at least, in the top-level driver removal.
Now for the lower level driver, we need a similar strategy. Notify to the toplevel for hot-unplug (disconnect in ALSA), and sync with the stop operation, then continue the rest of its own remove procedure.
This patch adds snd_card_disconnect_sync(), and driver can use it from remove function.
Note: the "lower level" driver here refers to a middle layer driver (e.g. ASoC components) that can be unbound freely during operation. Most of legacy ALSA helper drivers don't have such a problem because they can't be unbound.
Note#2: snd_card_disconnect_sync() merely calls snd_card_disconnect() and syncs with closing all pending files. It takes only the files opened by user-space into account, and doesn't care about object refcounts. (The latter is handled by snd_card_free() completion call, BTW.) Also, the function doesn't free resources by itself.
