ALSA: seq: virmidi: Add a drain operation

2022-01-06T15:08:07+00:00

If a driver does not supply a drain operation for outputs, a default code path will execute msleep(50). Especially for a virtual midi device this severely limmits the throughput. This implementation for the virtual midi driver simply flushes the output workqueue.

ALSA: seq: Fix assignment in if condition

2021-06-09T15:30:26+00:00

There are lots of places doing assignments in if condition in ALSA sequencer core, which is a bad coding style that may confuse readers and occasionally lead to bugs. This patch is merely for coding-style fixes, no functional changes. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210608140540.17885-57-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: virmidi: Fix running status after receiving sysex

2020-03-16T09:06:22+00:00

The virmidi driver handles sysex event exceptionally in a short-cut snd_seq_dump_var_event() call, but this missed the reset of the running status. As a result, it may lead to an incomplete command right after the sysex when an event with the same running status was queued. Fix it by clearing the running status properly via alling snd_midi_event_reset_decode() for that code path.

ALSA: rawmidi: A lightweight function to discard pending bytes

2018-10-04T18:13:17+00:00

For discarding the pending bytes on rawmidi, we process with a loop of snd_rawmidi_transmit() which is just a waste of CPU power. Implement a lightweight API function to discard the pending bytes and the proceed the ring buffer instantly, and use it instead of open codes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: virmidi: Fix discarding the unsubscribed output

2018-08-14T20:50:52+00:00

The recent change to move the virmidi output processing to a work slightly modified the code to discard the unsubscribed outputs so that it works without a temporary buffer. However, this is actually buggy, and may spew a kernel warning due to the unexpected call of snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack(), as triggered by syzbot. This patch takes back to the original code in that part, use a temporary buffer and simply repeat snd_rawmidi_transmit(), in order to address the regression.

ALSA: seq: Remove dead codes

There are a few functions that have been commented out for ages. And also there are functions that do nothing but placeholders. Let's kill them. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: Minor cleanup of MIDI event parser helpers

2018-08-01T20:54:35+00:00

snd_midi_event_encode_byte() can never fail, and it can return rather true/false. Change the return type to bool, adjust the argument to receive a MIDI byte as unsigned char, and adjust the comment accordingly. This allows callers to drop error checks, which simplifies the code. Meanwhile, snd_midi_event_encode() helper is used only in seq_midi.c, and it can be better folded into it. This will reduce the total amount of lines in the end. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: virmidi: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE() macros

2018-07-30T12:52:30+00:00

The trigger flag in vmidi object can be referred in different contexts concurrently, hence it's better to be put with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() macros to assure the accesses. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: virmidi: Offload the output event processing

2018-07-30T12:51:51+00:00

The virmidi sequencer stuff tries to translate the rawmidi bytes to sequencer events and deliver the packets at trigger callback. The amount of the whole process of these translations and deliveries depends on the incoming rawmidi bytes, and we have no limit for that; this was the cause of a CPU soft lockup that had been reported and fixed recently. Although we've fixed the soft lockup by putting the temporary unlock and cond_resched(), it's rather a quick band aid. In this patch, meanwhile, the event parsing and delivery process is offloaded to a dedicated work, and the trigger callback just kicks it off. It has three merits, at least: - The processing is always done in a sleepable context, which can assure the event delivery with non-atomic flag without hackish is_atomic() usage. - Other relevant codes can be simplified, reducing the lines - It makes me happier Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
