struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream

Description

This locks the PCM stream's spinlock or mutex depending on the nonatomic flag of the given substream. This also takes the global link rw lock (or rw sem), too, for avoiding the race with linked streams.

void snd_pcm_stream_unlock(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream)¶: Unlock the PCM stream

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream

Description

This unlocks the PCM stream that has been locked via snd_pcm_stream_lock().

void snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream)¶: Lock the PCM stream

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream

Description

This locks the PCM stream like snd_pcm_stream_lock() and disables the local IRQ (only when nonatomic is false). In nonatomic case, this is identical as snd_pcm_stream_lock().

void snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream)¶: Unlock the PCM stream

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream

Description

This is a counter-part of snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq().

void snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, unsigned long flags)¶: Unlock the PCM stream

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream
unsigned long flags: irq flags

Description

This is a counter-part of snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave().

int snd_pcm_stop(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, snd_pcm_state_t state)¶: try to stop all running streams in the substream group

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: the PCM substream instance
snd_pcm_state_t state: PCM state after stopping the stream

Description

The state of each stream is then changed to the given state unconditionally.

Return

Zero if successful, or a negative error code.

int snd_pcm_stop_xrun(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream)¶: stop the running streams as XRUN

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: the PCM substream instance

Description

This stops the given running substream (and all linked substreams) as XRUN. Unlike snd_pcm_stop(), this function takes the substream lock by itself.

Return

Zero if successful, or a negative error code.

int snd_pcm_suspend_all(struct snd_pcm * pcm)¶: trigger SUSPEND to all substreams in the given pcm

Parameters

struct snd_pcm * pcm: the PCM instance

Description

After this call, all streams are changed to SUSPENDED state.

Return

Zero if successful (or pcm is NULL), or a negative error code.

int snd_pcm_kernel_ioctl(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, unsigned int cmd, void * arg)¶: Execute PCM ioctl in the kernel-space

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream
unsigned int cmd: IOCTL cmd
void * arg: IOCTL argument

Description

The function is provided primarily for OSS layer and USB gadget drivers, and it allows only the limited set of ioctls (hw_params, sw_params, prepare, start, drain, drop, forward).

int snd_pcm_lib_default_mmap(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, struct vm_area_struct * area)¶: Default PCM data mmap function

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream
struct vm_area_struct * area: VMA

Description

This is the default mmap handler for PCM data. When mmap pcm_ops is NULL, this function is invoked implicitly.

int snd_pcm_lib_mmap_iomem(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, struct vm_area_struct * area)¶: Default PCM data mmap function for I/O mem

Parameters

struct snd_pcm_substream * substream: PCM substream
struct vm_area_struct * area: VMA

Description

When your hardware uses the iomapped pages as the hardware buffer and wants to mmap it, pass this function as mmap pcm_ops. Note that this is supposed to work only on limited architectures.

int snd_dma_alloc_pages(int type, struct device * device, size_t size, struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab)¶: allocate the buffer area according to the given type

Parameters

int type: the DMA buffer type
struct device * device: the device pointer
size_t size: the buffer size to allocate
struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab: buffer allocation record to store the allocated data

Description

Calls the memory-allocator function for the corresponding buffer type.

Return

Zero if the buffer with the given size is allocated successfully, otherwise a negative value on error.

int snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback(int type, struct device * device, size_t size, struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab)¶: allocate the buffer area according to the given type with fallback

Parameters

int type: the DMA buffer type
struct device * device: the device pointer
size_t size: the buffer size to allocate
struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab: buffer allocation record to store the allocated data

Description

Calls the memory-allocator function for the corresponding buffer type. When no space is left, this function reduces the size and tries to allocate again. The size actually allocated is stored in res_size argument.

Return

Zero if the buffer with the given size is allocated successfully, otherwise a negative value on error.

void snd_dma_free_pages(struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab)¶: release the allocated buffer

Parameters

struct snd_dma_buffer * dmab: the buffer allocation record to release

Description

Releases the allocated buffer via snd_dma_alloc_pages().
