Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: compress: Propagate real pointer errors in avail paths
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:47:54 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414-alsa-compress-pointer-avail-errors-v1-2-f5a1a8b1dfba@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414-alsa-compress-pointer-avail-errors-v1-0-f5a1a8b1dfba@gmail.com>
Commit 61327f3d817c ("ALSA: compress: Pay attention if drivers
error out retrieving pointers") made snd_compr_update_tstamp()
return driver pointer() failures, but snd_compr_calc_avail()
still ignores that status and continues with stale runtime
counters.
The fallback for an unsupported pointer callback remains
intentional, so keep ignoring -EOPNOTSUPP there. Propagate
real pointer-refresh failures instead.
This makes SNDRV_COMPRESS_AVAIL, read() and write() fail
immediately on real pointer errors, and makes poll() report
EPOLLERR instead of continuing with stale availability data.
snd_compr_tstamp() already propagates the same errors, so
this also restores consistency between the timestamp and
avail paths.
Fixes: 61327f3d817c ("ALSA: compress: Pay attention if drivers error out retrieving pointers")
