[PATCH] ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: unsolicited RIRB response
The loop implementation could not solve the unsolicited response issue because the RIRBSTS is cleared after leaving the snd_hdac_bus_update_rirb() function. So the next loop will fail the status test against the RIRB_INT_MASK and skip all the RIRB handling stuff. On the other hand, there alwasy could be unsolicited responses in the last loop regardless the number of loops.
Clear the RIRB interrupt before handling it so unsolicited response could trigger another RIRB interrupt to handle it later.

Hi Brent,
Thanks for the patch. Is this fix for a specific issue you're seeing? If so, could you please give us some details about it?
Thanks, Ranjani

Hi Ranjani,
It's reported to happen on GLK Chromebook 'Fleex' that sometimes it cannot output the audio stream to external display. The kernel is Chrome v4.14 branch. Following is the reproduce step provided by ODM but I could reproduce it simply running aplay or cras_test_client so I think it's not about the cable plug/unplug handling.
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Play YouTube video on Chromebook and connect it to external monitor with Type C to DP dongle 2. Press monitor power button to turn off the monitor 3. Press monitor power button again to turn on the monitor 4. Continue to play YouTube video and check audio playback 5. No sound comes out from built-in speaker of external monitor when turn on external monitor
I added debug messages to print the RIRBWP register and realize that response could come between the read of RIRBWP in the snd_hdac_bus_update_rirb() function and the interrupt clear in the hda_dsp_stream_interrupt() function. The response is not handled but the interrupt is already cleared. It will cause timeout unless more responses coming to RIRB.

I found there is a commit addressing this issue and cherry-pick it to the Chrome v4.14 but the issue is still there. I think more loop does not help because eventually there will be response coming in the snd_hdac_bus_update_rirb() function and become unhandled response in the last loop.

ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: modify stream interrupt handler
Modify the stream interrupt handler to always wake up the IRQ thread if the status register is valid. The IRQ thread performs the check for stream interrupts and RIRB interrupts in a loop to handle the case of missed interrupts when an unsolicited response from the codec is received just before the stream interrupt handler is completed.

Now I noticed that the legacy driver already addressed it recently via commit 6d011d5057ff ALSA: hda: Clear RIRB status before reading WP
We should have checked SOF at the same time, too...

Thanks, Takashi. But the legacy driver but doesnt remove the loop. The loop added in the SOF driver was based on the legacy driver and specifically to handle missed stream interrupts. Is there any harm in keeping the loop?

A loop there might be safer to keep, indeed. That's basically for a difference kind of race, and it can still happen theoretically.
Though, SOF is with the threaded interrupt, and it's interesting how the behavior differs. I can imagine that, if a thread irq is running while a new IRQ is re-triggered, the hard irq handler won't queue it again. But I might be wrong here, need some checks.

IIRC we added this loop before merging all interrupt handling in one thread, somehow the MSI mode never worked reliably without this change, so maybe we don't need this loop any longer.
I'd really prefer it if we didn't tie the RIRB handing change to this loop change, removing the loop should only be done with *a lot of testing*.

The reason I removed the loop because I thought it's for the unsolicited response, apparently it's not. I'd like to port the commit 6d011d5057ff

Hi Takashi-san,
Yes you are correct. I tested Chrome v5.4 on a CML Chromebook 'hatch' and realize the SOF does no suffer from this issue because the 'sync write' feature is enabled in hda_init. Soon I can reproduce the issue after turning it off. So I think it's still worthy to have this fix in case we need to disable 'sync write' someday.

IIRC the loop was added because on some versions of the hardware we seem to miss stream interrupts - and I believe this was inspired by the same solution with the legacy HDaudio driver.
Maybe we need to do something better for unsolicited responses but I'd be surprised if we can remove this loop - this sounds like asking for trouble.
