Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] ALSA: xen-front: Add Xen para-virtualized frontend driver



Gentle reminder...

I think that Xen side comments are already there and still I miss

some input from ALSA community on patch #5.

Thank you,

Oleksandr

Please note: this patch series depends on [3].

This patch series adds support for Xen [1] para-virtualized
sound frontend driver. It implements the protocol from
include/xen/interface/io/sndif.h with the following limitations:
- mute/unmute is not supported
- get/set volume is not supported
Volume control is not supported for the reason that most of the
use-cases (at the moment) are based on scenarious where
unprivileged OS (e.g. Android, AGL etc) use software mixers.

Both capture and playback are supported.

Corresponding backend, implemented as a user-space application, can be
found at [2].

Thank you,
Oleksandr

Changes since v1:
*****************

1. Moved driver from sound/drivers to sound/xen

2. Coding style changes to better meet Linux Kernel

3. Added explicit back and front synchronization
    In order to provide explicit synchronization between backend and
    frontend the following changes are introduced in the protocol:
     - add new ring buffer for sending asynchronous events from
       backend to frontend to report number of bytes played by the
       frontend (XENSND_EVT_CUR_POS)
     - introduce trigger events for playback control: start/stop/pause/resume
     - add "req-" prefix to event-channel and ring-ref to unify naming
       of the Xen event channels for requests and events

4. Added explicit back and front parameter negotiation
    In order to provide explicit stream parameter negotiation between
    backend and frontend the following changes are introduced in the protocol:
    add XENSND_OP_HW_PARAM_QUERY request to read/update
    configuration space for the parameters given: request passes
    desired parameter's intervals/masks and the response to this request
    returns allowed min/max intervals/masks to be used.
