[alsa-devel] [PATCH v8 1/1] ASoC: omap-mcbsp: Add PM QoS support for McBSP to prevent glitches

Liam Breck liam at networkimprov.net

We can get audio errors if hitting deeper idle states on omaps:

[alsa.c:230] error: Fatal problem with alsa output, error -5.
[audio.c:614] error: Error in writing audio (Input/output error?)!

This seems to happen with off mode idle enabled as power for the
whole SoC may get cut off between filling the McBSP fifo using DMA.
While active DMA blocks deeper idle states in hardware, McBSP
activity does not seem to do so.

Basing the QoS latency calculation on the FIFO size, threshold,
sample rate, and channels.

Based on the original patch by Tony Lindgren

Changes from v1:
* add calculations for latency per number of FIFO locations

Changes from v2:
* add missing mcbsp.h header change

Changes from v3:
* base the latency calculations on threshold, buffer size, sample
  rate, and channels

Changes from v4:
* using Peter Ujfalusi's suggestions for restoring a higher latency on
  audio stream completion, or if not applicable remove the QoS request

Changes from v5:
* clean up latency checking logic
* move logic to .prepare and .shutdown to avoid functions that can sleep

Changes from v6:
* move QoS removal to asoc_mcbsp_remove from omap_mcbsp_cleanup
* also remove header include that is unneeded

Changes from v7:
* fix issue reported by Tony Lindgreen that a player application could close the
  card after hw_params, and cause an invalid pm_qos_remove_request()
