[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: core: Fix deferral of machine drivers
Commit daecf46ee0e5 ("ASoC: soc-core: use snd_soc_dai_link_component for platform") added a new member to the snd_soc_dai_link structure for storing a pointer for a platform link component. The pointer for this platform link component was allocated, if not already populated by the machine driver, using devm_kzalloc() such that the memory would be automatically freed on error or removal of the soundcard. However, this introduced a new problem, because if the probing of the soundcard is deferred, then although the memory allocated for the platform link component is freed, if the snd_soc_dai_link structure is declared statically by the machine driver, then the pointer in the DAI link structure will never be clearer. This means that when the soundcard is probed again, memory for the platform link component will not be allocated again because the address of the pointer was not cleared and this causes sound core to access memory that is no longer valid.
In most cases this causes the following error condition to be triggered and causes probing the soundcard to fail.
tegra-snd-sgtl5000 sound: ASoC: Both platform name/of_node are set for sgtl5000
Unfortunately, because this platform link component is allocated before the DAI links are added to the soundcard, there is no easy way to clear this pointer on teardown if an error occurs.
The pointer for this platform link component was added for future proofing and communalising the structures for storing various data. Although a machine driver maybe used by more than one platform and so this platform data may vary from platform to platform, there is only ever a single instance for a given platform. Therefore, rather than dynamically allocate the platform link component structure, make it a static member of the snd_soc_dai_link to fix the problem.
It should be noted that if the platform_name of platform_of_node members of the snd_soc_dai_link structure are populated, these will always be used regardless of if the new platform.name or platform.of_node members are populated.

Thank you for your patch. The reason why it is allocating memory is it is for glue Legacy vs Modern style. This means, this allocation style will be removed if ALSA SoC become modern style. The missing part so far is CPU. Only CPU is not yet supporting snd_soc_dai_link_component style. If all CPU/Codec/Platform supports snd_soc_dai_link_component style, all driver can switch to it, and then, all will be static style. Currently, simple card series is only(?) using this style.
The reason why platform is using pointer style is that someone (not me ;P) will support multi platform style in the future.

Can you elaborate a bit more, I still not not understand what you mean here by 'support multi-platform style' and why this is needed in the future?
Furthermore, even if the CPU is not supporting the snd_soc_dai_link_component, I don't understand why this prevents us from making this change now other than it is not consistent.

This breaks the build for the SCU cards (and we needs a little rebase against another fix I just merged, though I did do that when applying). I do think that this is going to be the safest thing to do for v5.0, it can always be reverted later on when it's not needed but it seems clear that a better fix is going to be way too invasive for the -rcs. Can you respin and retest please?

Yes will do. I do wonder if we should be concerned about snd_soc_init_multicodec() as well? Looks like it could have a different problem if a machine driver already allocated the memory for the codec link component.

I'd need to find your patch again and fix the rebase issue. It was assigning a pointer to a platform IIRC.

Since you appear to be volunteering to check... :)

Sorry I still don't see it. Happen to recall the config you were using to build? I tried enabling the various SH soundcards (which I believe the SCU card is under).

Configure all SND, MFD, REGULATOR and SPI symbols y on top of a base config which is:
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y CONFIG_OF=y CONFIG_I2C=y CONFIG_SPI=y CONFIG_REGULATOR=y CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_SOC=y CONFIG_SND_SOC_ALL_CODECS=y CONFIG_SPMI=y CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
(I should add ACPI to that too now I think about it) merged with defconfig. I was reproducing on x86.
