[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ALSA: pcm: add local header for module-local functions
Hi,
This patchset is a supplement for merged patchset[1].
As I suggested[2], an added helper function is useful to some parts of PCM core module. Although it's better to replace existent code block with it, there's an issue to share it with several objects, because there is no header files for external symbols not exported to kernel space.
This patchset adds a header file for the module-local symbols, then adds calls of the function in several parts of the module.

Takashi Sakamoto (2): ALSA: pcm: add local header file for snd-pcm module ALSA: pcm: add arrangement for applying appl_ptr

Several files are used to construct PCM core module, a.k.a snd-pcm. Although available APIs are described in 'include/sound/pcm.h', some of them are not exported as symbols in kernel space. Such APIs are just for module local usage.
This commit adds module local header file and move some function prototypes into it so that scopes of them are controlled properly and developers get no confusion from unavailable symbols.

In callgraphs from below kernel APIs, position of application pointer on PCM buffer is changes, according to given parameters.
- snd_pcm_lib_read() - snd_pcm_lib_readv() - snd_pcm_lib_write() - snd_pcm_lib_writev()
This operation corresponds to application of new position to runtime of PCM substream and callback of driver's implementation for 'struct snd_pcm_ops.ack'.
In a former commit, a new local function is added, 'apply_appl_ptr'. The above code block can be replaced with this function.
This commit replaces the code block with call of the function. The function is renamed to be shared by several objects.

Yes, the code might be changed heavily. Don't touch a too hot spot if it were only a cleanup.

I've already reviewed it but postpone my reply to this evening. (I'm in paid work now.)
Your patchset looks a middle of work. It includes the lack of changes for each drivers, thus not bisect-able. I think you will re-post the full series of patches several days after reviewed. Then you have chance to rebase it to recent HEAD of your tree, don't you?
Thanks

Yes, it was mentioned so in the cover letter.

My patches are already ready. I didn't post the full set just because it's too much. The patch "snippet" was shown as a demonstration.
And, why do you think there is only one patchset? Usually I write several different implementations and choose the best one for submission. That is, I already have a few other patchsets in my local tree based on the current code base. And even further works on PCM code are pending.
So which is easier to rebase and handle? Which one has more significant changes? A single trivial cleanup patch, or the whole several sets of patchsets? The answer is clear to my eyes.
thanks,
Takashi

Yes, like I did in my previous patchset.
And, why do you think there is only one patchset? Usually I write several different implementations and choose the best one for submission. That is, I already have a few other patchsets in my local tree based on the current code base. And even further works on PCM code are pending.
I can easily imagine how you progress the work, because I have some topic branch in my local repository as well, for PCM core. They're also ready, like yours. However, I accept changes of HEAD of remote branch. HEAD tends to move regardless of my work. When posting my patchset, I always work to rebase to the HEAD. This often brings me a bit work, and next week I'll surely do it, but it's natural to me.
Here, I don't necessarily request you to merge them promptly. I'm just interested in your current situation, in short, the reason to postpone this patch. In my eyes, this patch surely brings conflict to your future patchset, but it has a small changes and the occurred conflict can be fixed quickly. I understand that you'd like to save the time for it.
So which is easier to rebase and handle? Which one has more significant changes? A single trivial cleanup patch, or the whole several sets of patchsets? The answer is clear to my eyes.
Hm.
It depends on the shape of patchset, regardless of the importance, in my humble opinion.
When it includes large changes, it takes longer time to review. When a patchset is splitted into small parts and posted sequentially with each of topics, reviewer finishes his or her work within shorter time relatively. I'll post my comments to your recent work later, but here your patchset looks to include refactoring, integration and more. It seems takes more time to merge into HEAD and I cannot post the series of my works (they depends each other) even if my patches are enough small. That's my concern here.

Due to your recent work under reviewing?
Yes, the code might be changed heavily. Don't touch a too hot spot if it were only a cleanup.
I've already reviewed it but postpone my reply to this evening. (I'm in paid work now.)
Your patchset looks a middle of work. It includes the lack of changes for each drivers, thus not bisect-able.
Yes, it was mentioned so in the cover letter.
I think you will re-post the full series of patches several days after reviewed. Then you have chance to rebase it to recent HEAD of your tree, don't you?
My patches are already ready. I didn't post the full set just because it's too much. The patch "snippet" was shown as a demonstration.
Yes, like I did in my previous patchset.

A pain-point at this time is that it's involved with other subsystems, thus the interaction with them should be minimized. Usually, I prefer implementing things more gradually, e.g. add copy_kernel ops at first, then refactor PCM core slowly. But it'd require more interactions with other subtrees as long as API change is required. That's why I chose the one-time change including refactoring.
That said, if API change is in play, this is the biggest blocker per its nature, and it has the higher priority than other conflicting changes (unless it's an urgent fix).
thanks,
Takashi
