Hi,
In kernel ipc.c I see "if (sdev->stream_box.size == 0)" checks at exactly 4 locations, but all currently supported by SOF platforms set the size to 0x200. Do we need those checks or can we safely assume, that the size is never 0?
The size can depend on FW platform and how much space they allocate for mmap() stream position information. i.e. ALSA can read pipeline stream position stats directly from mailbox rather than via IPC.
Does that mean, that I misunderstood something? Could you point me out to the code, that can set that size to anything other than 0x200, as supplied by the firmware?
Thanks Guennadi
