[PATCH v2 1/1] ALSA: SOC: DMA: access buffer pointer atomically

From: Jiada Wang
Date: Thu Dec 01 2016 - 00:24:26 EST


From: Andreas Pape <apape@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Setting pointer and afterwards check for wrap around leads
to the possibility of returning the inconsistent pointer position.

This patch accesses buffer pointer atomically to avoid this issue.

v2: use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to ensure read/write of buffer pointer in
only one access
also updates snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer_no_residue to ensure atomic
access
