Fix for slow snd-ali5451 initialization

Fix for slow snd-ali5451 initialization

[Vince Busam]

The snd-ali5451 driver takes 10 seconds to load, which is quite annoying 
on a laptop that boots every day.  This patch lowers that to a much more 
managable time, and still works fine on my laptop.

Vince

     Summary: Speed up ali5451 initialization

     The patch speeds up loading the ali5451 driver by lowering the
     wait time in snd_ali_codec_ready()

Does not apply against current ALSA or kernel sources.  Please provide
an updated patch.

Also, why is this an issue?  Do your distros init scripts delay the boot
until this driver is loaded?  Shouldn't it be loading all drivers in
parallel?

Re: Fix for slow snd-ali5451 initialization

[Vince Busam]

Ubuntu and Fedora both wait until the driver is loaded.  If I don't load 
the driver on bootup, and manually load it later, the whole system will 
freeze for 10 seconds while the driver loads.

This function (snd_ali_codec_ready) fails 4 times during initialization, 
no matter how long it waits.  Why does it have to wait for 2.5 seconds 
each time?  As you can see, that total comes to 10 seconds.  Dropping the 
timeout here brings that down to a tolerable level with no ill effects for 
me.  A better fix might be to figure out why it's being called 4 times at 
all when it's going to fail, but I certainly don't know enough about this 
chip or driver to know if that's the case.

Well, it's not a good solution.  It's already strange that so many
timeouts occur.  And, the driver works correctly after that?  That is,
you don't get any timeouts once after the driver is initialized?

If the driver really works after initialization, then the primary
question is which function call failed at which timing.  If the
failures are consistent, that is the part to be fixed. 
For an easy test, add printk's to each call of snd_ali_codec_ready,
and check the log.

This could be initialization attempt of non-existed secondary codec. At
least such attempt was reported in the past.

Vince, could you drop the content of your /proc/asound/card0/ali5451 file?

Sasha.

Yes, that's also my suspect.

Vince, are you using the latest ALSA code?  At least, the probe code
is a bit improved on 2.6.14 kernel, like ALSA CVS version.

Re: Fix for slow snd-ali5451 initialization

[Vince Busam]

This is with 2.6.12-9-k7 from Ubuntu and 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 from Fedora 
Core 4.  I'll try pulling the latest code from CVS and see if that helps.

I don't think it's a problem with attempting the second mixer (which it 
does, and fails).  It happens while creating the first mixer, in the 
snd_ac97_mixer() call in this loop when i==0.

for ( i = 0 ; i < codec->num_of_codecs ; i++) {
   ac97.num = i;
   if ((err = snd_ac97_mixer(codec->ac97_bus, &ac97, &codec->ac97[i])) < 
0) {
     snd_printk("ali mixer %d creating error.\n", i);
     if(i == 0)
       return err;
    }
}

OK, then the problem is not that easy...
We'll need to track down which call fails.

What can I try?  I've noticed it happens when calling snd_ali_codec_peek() 
with secondary=0 and reg=0x7e.  The first couple calls with those 
paramaters succeed, then 4 fail.  Is there any good way to print a stack 
trace when the call fails?

Thanks,
Vince

Could you try the patch below, to sync our code base, before further
looking?  It's for the latest ALSA CVS version (or 1.0.10rc3).
