At Linux v3.5, packet processing can be done in process context of ALSA PCM application as well as software IRQ context for OHCI 1394. Below is an example of the callgraph (some calls are omitted).

ioctl(2) with e.g. HWSYNC (sound/core/pcm_native.c) ->snd_pcm_common_ioctl1() ->snd_pcm_hwsync() ->snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq (sound/core/pcm_lib.c) ->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() ->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() ->struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer() (sound/firewire/*) = Each handler on drivers in ALSA firewire stack (sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c) ->amdtp_stream_pcm_pointer() (drivers/firewire/core-iso.c) ->fw_iso_context_flush_completions() ->struct fw_card_driver.flush_iso_completion() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c) = flush_iso_completions() ->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc (sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c) = in_stream_callback() or out_stream_callback() ->... ->snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq

When packet queueing error occurs or detecting invalid packets in 'in_stream_callback()' or 'out_stream_callback()', 'snd_pcm_stop_xrun()' is called on local CPU with disabled IRQ.

(sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c) in_stream_callback() or out_stream_callback() ->amdtp_stream_pcm_abort() ->snd_pcm_stop_xrun() ->snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave() ->snd_pcm_stop() ->snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore()

The process is stalled on the CPU due to attempt to acquire recursive lock.

This commit fixes the above bug by removing the calls of 'amdtp_stream_pcm_abort()' from packet handler. Instead, in 'struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer', SNDRV_PCM_POS_XRUN is returned to take ALSA PCM core to stop PCM substream safely.
