<content type='text'>
Currently, the available buffer allocation size for a PCM stream
depends on the preallocated size; when a buffer has been preallocated,
the max buffer size is set to that size, so that application won't
re-allocate too much memory.  OTOH, when no preallocation is done,
each substream may allocate arbitrary size of buffers as long as
snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max allows -- which can be quite high,
HD-audio sets 1GB there.

It means that the system may consume a high amount of pages for PCM
buffers, and they are pinned and never swapped out.  This can lead to
OOM easily.

For avoiding such a situation, this patch adds the upper limit per
card.  Each snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() and _free_pages() calls are
tracked and it will return an error if the total amount of buffers
goes over the defined upper limit.  The default value is set to 32MB,
which should be really large enough for usual operations.

If larger buffers are needed for any specific usage, it can be
adjusted (also dynamically) via snd_pcm.max_alloc_per_card option.
Setting zero there means no chceck is performed, and again, unlimited
amount of buffers are allowed.

<title>ALSA: pcm: Add card sync_irq field</title>

Many PCI and other drivers performs snd_pcm_period_elapsed() simply in
its interrupt handler, so the sync_stop operation is just to call
synchronize_irq().  Instead of putting this call multiple times,
introduce the common card-&gt;sync_irq field.  When this field is set,
PCM core performs synchronize_irq() for sync-stop operation.  Each
driver just needs to copy its local IRQ number to card-&gt;sync_irq, and
that's all we need.

<title>ALSA: core: Don't refer to snd_cards array directly</title>

<id>f4fa968950aef7efb98a0899bb0132405e2edaf1</id>
<content type='text'>
The snd_cards[] array holds the card pointers that have been currently
registered, and it's exported for the external modules that may need
to refer a card object.  But accessing to this array can be racy
against the driver probe or removal, as the card registration or free
may happen concurrently.

This patch gets rid of the direct access to snd_cards[] array and
provides a helper function to give the card object from the index
number with a refcount management.  Then the caller can access to the
given card object safely, and releases it via snd_card_unref().

While we're at it, add a proper comment to snd_card_unref() and make
it an inlined function for type-safety, too.

<title>ALSA: core: Fix card races between register and disconnect</title>

<id>2a3f7221acddfe1caa9ff09b3a8158c39b2fdeac</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a small race window in the card disconnection code that
allows the registration of another card with the very same card id.
This leads to a warning in procfs creation as caught by syzkaller.

The problem is that we delete snd_cards and snd_cards_lock entries at
the very beginning of the disconnection procedure.  This makes the
slot available to be assigned for another card object while the
disconnection procedure is being processed.  Then it becomes possible
to issue a procfs registration with the existing file name although we
check the conflict beforehand.

The fix is simply to move the snd_cards and snd_cards_lock clearances
at the end of the disconnection procedure.  The references to these
entries are merely either from the global proc files like
/proc/asound/cards or from the card registration / disconnection, so
it should be fine to shift at the very end.

The creation of card's id proc file can be moved gracefully into
info.c.  Also, the assignment of card-&gt;proc_id is superfluous and can
be dropped.  So let's do it.

Basically this is no functional change but code refactoring, but one
potential behavior change is that now it returns properly the error
code from snd_info_card_register(), which is a good thing (tm).
