[PATCH v6 0/4] Propagate errors out from compressed streams

[PATCH v6 0/4] Propagate errors out from compressed streams

[Charles Keepax]

If the DSP suffers an unrecoverable error, the driver likely
knows about this, however the framework may not get informed
because errors returned from pointer requests are ignored within
the framework.

Things work out fine if user-space is doing a read as reads
return error status back to user-space so the user can find out
that things have gone bad. However, if user-space is doing an
avail request there is no path for the error to come back up to
user-space. The pointer request returns zero available data, so a
read never happens and we basically just end up sitting waiting
for data on a stream that we know full well has died.

This patch set attempts to address this and ensure that errors
are fully propagated to user-space and we don't ever end up wait
for data that will never come.

Changes since v5:
 - Add a debug print to note which state we transition to in
   snd_compr_stop_error

It might be easiest to put the ASoC changes through Mark's tree
as there are some merge conflicts otherwise, as such I have based
this series on Mark's tree.

Thanks,
Charles

[PATCH v6 1/4] ALSA: compress: Replace complex if statement with switch

[Charles Keepax]

A switch statement looks a bit cleaner than an if statement
spread over 3 lines, as such update this to a switch.

[PATCH v6 2/4] ALSA: compress: Add function to indicate the stream has gone bad

[Charles Keepax]

Currently, the avail IOCTL doesn't pass any error status, which
means typically on error it simply shows no data available. This
can lead to situations where user-space is waiting indefinitely
for data that will never come as the DSP has suffered an
unrecoverable error.

Add snd_compr_stop_error which end drivers can call to indicate
the stream has suffered an unrecoverable error and stop it. The
avail and poll IOCTLs are then updated to report if the stream is
in an error state to user-space. Allowing the error to propagate
out. Processing of the actual snd_compr_stop needs to be deferred
to a worker thread as the end driver may detect the errors during
an existing operation callback.

[PATCH v6 3/4] ASoC: wm_adsp: Use new snd_compr_stop_error to signal stream failure

[Charles Keepax]

If we encounter a fatal error on the compressed stream call the new
snd_compr_stop_error to shutdown the stream and allow the core to
inform user-space that the stream is no longer valid.

[PATCH v6 4/4] ASoC: compress: Pass error out of soc_compr_pointer

[Charles Keepax]

Both soc_compr_pointer and the platform driver pointer callback return
ints but current soc_compr_pointer always returns 0. Update this so we
return the actual value from the platform driver callback. This doesn't
fix any issues simply makes the code more consistent.

One more issue to fix up before we can submit these I am afraid.
We can't return negative values from snd_compr_poll, I need to
fix both the original -EBADFD and the -EPIPE that my patch adds
here.

I will do a new rev of the patches shortly, sorry about missing
this until now.

Thanks,
Charles

As this patch only tenuously relates to the rest of this patch
chain I have included it in a new patch chain [1], best not merge the
one from here so they don't both end up merged through different
