Can anyone test with AMD onboard or HDMI/DP?

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

can anyone have an AMD onboard audio device and/or AMD HDMI/DP output
for testing a patch below with 5.18.x or 5.19-rc kernels?  It's a
pending fix (for 5.18+), but currently it can't be verified whether it
causes a regression on the actual audio I/O (while it fixes the kernel
crash).

If the generic allocator still doesn't work as expected here, it
should show some audio stuttering or such effect.


Thanks!

Takashi

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: memalloc: Drop x86-specific hack for WC allocations

The recent report for a crash on Haswell machines implied that the
x86-specific (rather hackish) implementation for write-cache memory
buffer allocation in ALSA core is buggy with the recent kernel in some
corner cases.  This patch drops the x86-specific implementation and
uses the standard dma_alloc_wc() & co generically for avoiding the bug
and also for simplification.
