      ALSA: improve buffer size computations for USB PCM audio · 976b6c06
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch changes the way URBs are allocated and their sizes are
      determined for PCM playback in the snd-usb-audio driver.  Currently
      the driver allocates too few URBs for endpoints that don't use
      implicit sync, making underruns more likely to occur.  This may be a
      holdover from before I/O delays could be measured accurately; in any
      case, it is no longer necessary.
      
      The patch allocates as many URBs as possible, subject to four
      limitations:
      
      	The total number of URBs for the endpoint is not allowed to
      	exceed MAX_URBS (which the patch increases from 8 to 12).
      
      	The total number of packets per URB is not allowed to exceed
      	MAX_PACKS (or MAX_PACKS_HS for high-speed devices), which is
      	decreased from 20 to 6.
      
      	The total duration of queued data is not allowed to exceed
      	MAX_QUEUE, which is decreased from 24 ms to 18 ms.
      
      	The total number of ALSA frames in the output queue is not
      	allowed to exceed the ALSA buffer size.
      
      The last requirement is the hardest to implement.  Currently the
      number of URBs needed to fill a buffer cannot be determined in
      advance, because a buffer contains a fixed number of frames whereas
      the number of frames in an URB varies to match shifts in the device's
      clock rate.  To solve this problem, the patch changes the logic for
      deciding how many packets an URB should contain.  Rather than using as
      many as possible without exceeding an ALSA period boundary, now the
      driver uses only as many packets as needed to transfer a predetermined
      number of frames.  As a result, unless the device's clock has an
      exceedingly variable rate, the number of URBs making up each period
      (and hence each buffer) will remain constant.
      
      The overall effect of the patch is that playback works better in
      low-latency settings.  The user can still specify values for
      frames/period and periods/buffer that exceed the capabilities of the
      hardware, of course.  But for values that are within those
      capabilities, the performance will be improved.  For example, testing
      shows that a high-speed device can handle 32 frames/period and 3
      periods/buffer at 48 KHz, whereas the current driver starts to get
      glitchy at 64 frames/period and 2 periods/buffer.
      
      A side effect of these changes is that the "nrpacks" module parameter
      is no longer used.  The patch removes it.

      ALSA : hda - not use assigned converters for all unused pins · f82d7d16
      Mengdong Lin authored
      BIOS can mark a pin as "no physical connection" if the port is used by an
      integrated display which is not audio capable. And audio driver will overlook
      such pins.
      
      On Haswell, such a disconneted pin will keep muted and connected to the 1st
      converter by default. But if the 1st convertor is assigned to a connected pin
      for audio streaming. The muted disconnected pin can make the connected pin
      no sound output.
      
      So this patch avoids using assigned converters for all unused pins for Haswell,
      including the disconected pins.

      Liam Girdwood authored
      Currently we assume that userspace will shut down the compressed stream
      correctly. However, if userspcae dies (e.g. cplay & ctrl-C) we dont
      stop the stream before freeing it.
      
      This now checks that the stream is stopped before freeing.

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.
