The recent support of low latency playback in USB-audio driver made the snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() function to be called via PCM ack ops. In the new code path, the function is performed already in the PCM stream lock. The problem is that, when an XRUN is detected, the function calls snd_pcm_xrun() to notify, but snd_pcm_xrun() is supposed to be called only outside the stream lock. As a result, it leads to a deadlock of PCM stream locking. For avoiding such a recursive locking, this patch adds an additional check to the code paths in PCM core that call the ack callback; now it checks the error code from the callback, and if it's -EPIPE, the XRUN is handled in the PCM core side gracefully. Along with it, the USB-audio driver code is changed to follow that, i.e. -EPIPE is returned instead of the explicit snd_pcm_xrun() call when the function is performed already in the stream lock.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
