Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] ALSA: virtio: account staged capture reads before RX refill
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 15:00:24 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <rfc-virtio-snd-capture-followups-1.f2737c95c12e45b4@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <rfc-virtio-snd-capture-followups-0.f2737c95c12e45b4@gmail.com>
The RX callback holds the queue lock across a batch of completions. A
reader that has copied samples can wait for that lock in ACK before its
consumed bytes are removed from capture_ready. A later completion in the
same batch can then reject data using stale ring occupancy.
Account the staged read under the substream lock before acquiring the RX
queue lock. Release that lock before taking the queue and substream locks
in their established order to refill requests.
Once accounting is committed, latch refill errors as XRUN and return
success from ACK. A negative return would make ALSA restore appl_ptr while
the driver retained the consumed-byte accounting. Keep pre-commit errors,
ring-capacity checks, and normal period-work scheduling unchanged.
Source-extracted host and kernel fixtures reproduce the stale-capacity
race and post-commit ALSA pointer rollback. The candidate preserves wrapped
data and pointer accounting. KASAN/lockdep QEMU lifecycle checks passed.
The fixtures substitute selected backend helpers and do not independently
establish physical-device acceptance.
This follows pending staged capture support, whose introducing patch has
no upstream commit ID for a Fixes tag yet.
