Subject: [PATCH] pcm: direct: Fix deadlock in poll_descriptors
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:26:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170116152630.4448-1-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)

The recent change in PCM direct plugins to check XRUN in
poll_descriptors callback caused a regression; as consequence, the
whole playback hangs up.

The culprit is a mutex dead lock by the call in snd_pcm_state() inside
the new snd_pcm_direct_poll_descriptors().  The poll_descriptors code
path is protected with pcm mutex, thus an unlocked version
(__snd_pcm_state()) has to be used inside the callback instead.

Fixes: 789ee39727a1 ("pcm: direct: check state before enter poll on timer")
