[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] ALSA: SOC: DMA: access buffer pointer atomically

[Jiada Wang]

From: Andreas Pape <apape at de.adit-jv.com>

Setting pointer and afterwards check for wrap around leads
to the possibility of returning the inconsistent pointer position.

This patch accesses buffer pointer atomically to avoid this issue.

v2: use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to ensure read/write of buffer pointer in
    only one access
    also updates snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer_no_residue to ensure atomic
    access
