[alsa-devel] M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card causing crash on Alpha
I recently installed a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card into DEC/Compaq Alpha XP1000, and it is causing crashes and complete lock ups of the computer when I attempt to play sound through the sound card. Since this is my main computer I shifted the card to a DEC Alpha PWS500au and it causes the same lock ups there, and in one case a kernel oops made it into the system log (listed below). The crashes occur when any application plays sound through the card. The first instance of running an application (such as aplay or speaker-test) after bootup succeeds; it's the second time one runs such an application that the system crashes. I am using the ice1724 alsa driver.
The sound card works fine - I've verified it on a MS Windows machine. It also worked fine when I installed it in a x86_64 machine running Debian testing. This seems to be a bug possibly specific to the Alpha architecture.
Any ideas as to the problem?
Any suggestions as to effective debugging? I turned on the debug options for alsa in the kernel config and re-compiled, but couldn't find any alsa debugging information in any of the system logs.
Basic system details follow:
DEC Alpha PWS500au with a 600MHz Alpha EV56 cpu. Debian GNU/Linux - up to date testing (Lenny) distribution. 2.6.24.3 verbatim kernel self-compiled and alsa as provided in that kernel.
The kernel oops from one crash is as follows:

The sound card works fine - I've verified it on a MS Windows machine. It also worked fine when I installed it in a x86_64 machine running Debian testing. This seems to be a bug possibly specific to the Alpha architecture.
Any ideas as to the problem?
The oops looks related with mmap. Maybe alpha doesn't support the mmap of coherent DMA pages like intel architectures allow?
Try to disable mmap support in the driver once - e.g. comment out SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP in struct snd_pcm_hardware.info fields found in ice1724.c. Then run aplay with -Dhw option (the default would take mmap) and give the WAV file the hardware supports (32bit-LE 2ch or more).
If this works, we can add some workarounds in the ALSA PCM core routine for mmap.

Any suggestions as to effective debugging? I turned on the debug options for alsa in the kernel config and re-compiled, but couldn't find any alsa debugging information in any of the system logs.
Basic system details follow:
DEC Alpha PWS500au with a 600MHz Alpha EV56 cpu. Debian GNU/Linux - up to date testing (Lenny) distribution. 2.6.24.3 verbatim kernel self-compiled and alsa as provided in that kernel.

This seems to be a bug possibly specific to the Alpha architecture.
Any ideas as to the problem?
The oops looks related with mmap. Maybe alpha doesn't support the mmap of coherent DMA pages like intel architectures allow?
Try to disable mmap support in the driver once - e.g. comment out SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP in struct snd_pcm_hardware.info fields found in ice1724.c.
I see that there is also a SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP_VALID flag in the initialisations of the snd_pcm_hardware.info field. Should I comment that out too?
May be a few days before I can test this out - I have just realised that a couple of my disk partitions are corrupted; I suspect one of the crashes of the audio driver is the explanation. I will have to restore from a backup first before continuing testing.
Michael.

Since this is my main computer I shifted the card to a DEC Alpha PWS500au and it causes the same lock ups there, and in one case a kernel oops made it into the system log (listed below).

I have just applied the recently announced patch (alpha: fix ALSA DMA mmap crash) in the -mm kernel tree to the 2.6.24.3 kernel I am running. The M-Audio Revolution 7.1 card now works fine on both Compaq Alpha XP1000 and the DEC Alpha PWS600au.
Cheers Michael.
