Hello,
Some time ago negative-tests found out that behavior of soc_pcm_open has
changed, quite sure this might be a regression hence my email. Till v5.6
soc_pcm_open was invoking ::shutdown() for cpu_dai in error path only if
::startup() succeeded first (label: 'out'). After addition of commit:
5d9fa03e6c3514266fa94851ab1b6dd6e0595a13
ASoC: soc-pcm: tidyup soc_pcm_open() order
this is no longer true. ::shutdown() can and will be invoked for given
cpu_dai despite ::startup()'s failure. This complicated further since
the merging of cpu & codec dais.
The same applies to codec_dais: notice the usage of
for_each_rtd_codec_dai_rollback macro instead of for_each_rtd_dais in
error path in v5.6.
Should dai's ::shutdown() be introducing some kind of state-check from
now on? - similarly to how developers deal with some of the core pcm
operations e.g.: ::prepare() (as it may get invoked multiple times in a
row so check is there to prevent redundancy).
Or, perhaps behavior change should be reverted with ::shutdown() routine
again being called only after successful ::startup()?
