Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: amd:Replacing MSI with Legacy IRQ model

When we try to play and capture simultaneously we see that
interrupts are genrated but our handler is not being acknowledged,
After investigating further more in detail on this issue we found
that IRQ delivery via MSI from the ACP IP is unreliable and so sometimes
interrupt generated will not be acknowledged so MSI model shouldn't be used
and using legacy IRQs will resolve interrupt handling issue.

This patch replaces MSI interrupt handling with legacy IRQ model.

Issue can be reproduced easily by running below python script:

import subprocess
import time
import threading

def do2():
cmd = 'aplay -f dat -D hw:2,1 /dev/zero -d 1'
subprocess.call(cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
print('Play Done')

def run():
for i in range(1000):
do2()

def do(i):
cmd = 'arecord -f dat -D hw:2,2 /dev/null -d 1'
subprocess.call(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
print(datetime.datetime.now(), i)

t = threading.Thread(target=run)
t.start()
for i in range(1000):
do(i)

t.join()

After applying this patch issue is resolved.

Is this specific to Raven, i.e. Renoir doesn't need the same fix?
If so, it should be mentioned in the patch description.


thanks,

What is the real culprit? It's hw bug? If not, it would be better to fix the
PCI code or the irq handler.

I'm not surprised if it's a hardware "feature". There are lots of
deny list and quirks about disabling MSI in HD-audio controller code,
after all.

commit: a523e1538fdd5f00ea3289cc0b3c6c1785b89814

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
