Author: Joonho Lee <[email protected]>

ALSA: virtio: stage VZ capture and restart paused streams

This commit adds opt-in capture staging using request-owned buffers with
response validation and ring accounting, along with a pause release and
reprepare state machine for staged capture streams.

[Severity: Medium]
What happens if a staged capture completion crosses a period boundary right
before SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH?

When virtsnd_pcm_capture_complete() copies data crossing a period boundary
and schedules vss->elapsed_period right as snd_pcm_pause() runs,
snd_pcm_pause() holds pcm_stream_lock across virtsnd_pcm_trigger() and
snd_pcm_post_pause(), which sets runtime->state to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PAUSED.

When virtsnd_pcm_period_elapsed() in sound/virtio/virtio_pcm.c subsequently
acquires pcm_stream_lock, !snd_pcm_running(substream) is true, so it returns
early without advancing vss->capture_notified_periods or calling
snd_pcm_period_elapsed_under_stream_lock() to update runtime->status->hw_ptr.

Later, when the stream is resumed via SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE in
virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_start() or virtsnd_pcm_trigger() in
sound/virtio/virtio_pcm_ops.c:

sound/virtio/virtio_pcm_ops.c:virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_start() {
        ...
        scoped_guard(spinlock_irqsave, &queue->lock) {
                guard(spinlock)(&vss->lock);
                if (vss->pause_restart_state !=
                            VIRTSND_PCM_PAUSE_RESTART_PREPARED ||
                    vss->msg_count || !vss->runtime_active || vss->xfer_xrun) {
                        rc = -EBADFD;
                } else {
                        rc = virtsnd_pcm_capture_send(vss);
                        if (!rc)
                                vss->xfer_enabled = true;
                }
        }
}

vss->elapsed_period is not rescheduled even though
vss->capture_copied_total / period_bytes > vss->capture_notified_periods, and
snd_pcm_post_pause() does not call snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr().

Could this leave readers in poll() or wait_for_avail() sleeping with
avail == 0, and on a 2-period buffer cause the next completed period to hit
audio_bytes >= vss->buffer_bytes - vss->capture_ready in
virtsnd_pcm_capture_complete() and force a premature XRUN?

Can a concurrent SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DROP and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE race while
virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_sync_stop() is sleeping and permanently wedge the
substream in VIRTSND_PCM_PAUSE_RESTART_RESET_REQUIRED?

In sound/core/pcm_native.c, snd_pcm_drop() transitions runtime->state to
SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP and sets runtime->stop_operating = true under
pcm_stream_lock_irq(), then drops the stream lock and calls
snd_pcm_sync_stop(substream, true) without holding runtime->buffer_mutex:

snd_pcm_drop()
  snd_pcm_stop(substream, SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP)
    runtime->stop_operating = true;
  snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq(substream)
  snd_pcm_sync_stop(substream, true)
    substream->runtime->stop_operating = false;
    substream->ops->sync_stop(substream)
      virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_sync_stop()

Because snd_pcm_sync_stop() clears runtime->stop_operating before calling
virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_sync_stop(), a second thread invoking
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE while virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_sync_stop() is
sleeping in virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_send() or wait_event_timeout() will see
runtime->state == SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP and runtime->stop_operating == false.

Its own call to snd_pcm_sync_stop() in snd_pcm_do_prepare() will then return
immediately without waiting for the first thread's sync_stop to finish, and
virtsnd_pcm_prepare() (or virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_send()) in
sound/virtio/virtio_pcm_ops.c will observe the in-flight *_SUBMITTED state:

sound/virtio/virtio_pcm_ops.c:virtsnd_pcm_prepare() {
        if (pause_restart) {
                enum virtio_pcm_pause_restart_state state;

                scoped_guard(spinlock_irqsave, &vss->lock)
                        state = vss->pause_restart_state;
                if (state == VIRTSND_PCM_PAUSE_RESTART_RESET_REQUIRED ||
                    virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_transitioning(state)) {
                        virtsnd_pcm_pause_restart_fail(vss, true);
                        return -EIO;
                }
        }
}

Wouldn't this transition vss->pause_restart_state to
VIRTSND_PCM_PAUSE_RESTART_RESET_REQUIRED and leave the substream unusable
until device reprobe?

How does the staged capture accounting handle SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_RESET when a
stream is running or paused?

virtsnd_pcm_ops uses snd_pcm_lib_ioctl, which handles SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL1_RESET
via snd_pcm_lib_ioctl_reset(). When the stream is running or paused,
snd_pcm_lib_ioctl_reset() updates runtime->status->hw_ptr (wrapping it modulo
runtime->buffer_size or zeroing it if paused), zeroes runtime->hw_ptr_base,
and sets runtime->control->appl_ptr = runtime->status->hw_ptr in
snd_pcm_post_reset() without calling substream->ops->ack().

Because vss->capture_ready, vss->capture_acked_total, and
vss->pcm_indirect.appl_ptr are not synchronized with that reset, any unread
bytes discarded by advancing appl_ptr to hw_ptr remain counted in
vss->capture_ready, which can cause virtsnd_pcm_capture_complete() to reject
subsequent completions with a ring_capacity or ring_full XRUN before the ALSA
ring is actually full.

Furthermore, once runtime->hw_ptr_base is non-zero (after a buffer wrap) or
when resetting while paused, resetting runtime->control->appl_ptr without
updating vss->pcm_indirect.appl_ptr causes the next call to
virtsnd_pcm_cp_ack() in sound/virtio/virtio_pcm_ops.c to compute a negative
diff = appl_ptr - vss->pcm_indirect.appl_ptr and fail with -EPIPE.

Should SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL1_RESET be intercepted in the ioctl callback to
reconcile vss->pcm_indirect.appl_ptr, vss->capture_acked_total, and
vss->capture_ready when vss->capture_staging is enabled?
