This condition is for the double interrupt acknowledge problems (see

comment). It makes sure, that the DMA buffer position was wrapped using

another external timing source. Indeed, it's mostly a lowlevel driver

fault to call this pointer update routine with the in_interrupt flag

when the period was not really elapsed.

 

Yes,I saw the comment and known the target of the pices of code and
known alsa use jiffies as another timing source to detect the wrap
situation,but I do not understand how to detect or check that case.In
other word,why does alsa use the value runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies/2
not runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies/3 or runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies/4
...?
