Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests/alsa: Test writes to IEC958 controls
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 21:33:34 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904123334.1505003-1-sammiee5311@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904021939.149468-1-sammiee5311@gmail.com>
Nothing checks that the put() callback of an IEC958 control reports a
change, because write_valid skips these controls.
Toggle one channel status bit and look for the event. The bit comes
from the Con Mask, Pro Mask or plain Mask sibling where there is one,
non-audio by preference because it means the same thing in both
layouts. Bit 0 of the first byte picks the layout, so leave it alone.
Write the value once without grading it first, since a device need not
implement the bit we picked. The graded write then compares against
what the device gave back, so it can only fail on the notification.
That probe and the restore after it are not graded, so nothing consumes
the events they make and the graded write would find one of those
instead of its own. Drop them first. The other write_valid tests write
only through write_and_verify(), so they have no ungraded write of their
own to drop after.
On an HDA card with four HDMI PCMs:
-# Totals: pass:212 fail:5 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:56 error:0
+# Totals: pass:216 fail:5 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:52 error:0
A driver whose put() never reports a change now shows up as
event_missing rather than as a skip. hdmi-codec, img-spdif-out and
uniperif_player store the value and return 0, so boards using them
should report a new failure.
write_invalid stays a skip. Every bit pattern is a valid channel
status.

v2: No code change. The changelog now says why the test drops the events
from the two writes it does not grade. It is bookkeeping for this
test rather than a general change - the other write_valid tests write
only through write_and_verify(), so they have no ungraded write of
their own to drop after.
