Likewise, it will +also be responsible for freeing the allocated resources. An example can +be shown below: + +.. code-block:: rst + + static int q6usb_component_probe(struct snd_soc_component *component) + { + ... + data->usb = snd_soc_usb_allocate_port(component, 1, &data->priv); + if (!data->usb) + return -ENOMEM; + + usb->connection_status_cb = q6usb_alsa_connection_cb; + + ret = snd_soc_usb_add_port(usb); + if (ret < 0) { + dev_err(component->dev, "failed to add usb port\n"); + goto free_usb; + } + ... + } + + static void q6usb_component_remove(struct snd_soc_component *component) + { + ... + snd_soc_usb_remove_port(data->usb); + snd_soc_usb_free_port(data->usb); + } + + static const struct snd_soc_component_driver q6usb_dai_component = { + .probe = q6usb_component_probe, + .remove = q6usb_component_remove, + .name = "q6usb-dai-component", + ... + }; +.. + +BE DAI links can pass along vendor specific information as part of the +call to allocate the SOC USB device. This will allow any BE DAI link +parameters or settings to be accessed by the USB offload driver that +resides in USB SND. + +USB Audio Device Connection Flow +-------------------------------- +USB devices can be hotplugged into the USB root hub at any point in time. +The BE DAI link should be aware of the current state of the physical USB +port, i.e. if there are any USB devices with audio interface(s) connected. +The following callback can be used to notify the BE DAI link of any change: + + **connection_status_cb()** + +This is called whenever there is a USB SND interface bind or remove event, +using snd_soc_usb_connect() or snd_soc_usb_disconnect(): + +.. code-block:: rst + + static void qc_usb_audio_offload_probe(struct snd_usb_audio *chip) + { + ... + snd_soc_usb_connect(usb_get_usb_backend(udev), sdev); + ... + } + + static void qc_usb_audio_offload_disconnect(struct snd_usb_audio *chip) + { + ... + snd_soc_usb_disconnect(usb_get_usb_backend(chip->dev), dev->sdev); + ... + } +.. + +In order to account for conditions where driver or device existence is +not guaranteed, USB SND exposes snd_usb_rediscover_devices() to resend the +connect events for any identified USB audio interfaces. Consider the +the following situtation: + + **usb_audio_probe()** + | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[] + | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND + | --> **snd_soc_usb_connect()** exits as USB BE DAI link is not ready + + BE DAI link component probe + | --> DAI link is probed and SOC USB port is allocated + | --> The USB audio device connect event is missed + +To ensure connection events are not missed, **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** +is executed when the SOC USB device is registered. Now, when the BE DAI +link component probe occurs, the following highlights the sequence: + + BE DAI link component probe + | --> DAI link is probed and SOC USB port is allocated + | --> SOC USB device added, and **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** runs + + **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** + | --> Traverses through usb_chip[] and for non-NULL entries issue + | **connection_status_cb()** + +In the case where the USB offload driver is unbounded, while USB SND is +ready, the **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** is called during module init. +This allows for the offloading path to also be enabled with the following +flow: + + **usb_audio_probe()** + | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[] + | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND + | --> USB offload driver **NOT** ready! + + BE DAI link component probe + | --> DAI link is probed and SOC USB port is allocated + | --> No USB connect event due to missing USB offload driver + + USB offload driver probe + | --> **qc_usb_audio_offload_init()** + | --> Calls **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** to notify of devices + +Advertising USB Audio Offload Capability +---------------------------------------- +As the USB audio offloading can potentially reside within the platform ASoC based +sound card, depending on if there is a USB DPCM backend DAI link existing in the +platform card definition, then users can utilize the sound card's components string, +in order to signal that USB offloading is supported by this sound card. + +The sound core exposes: + + **snd_ctl_card_info()** + +This allows for userspace applications, i.e. amixer, to fetch the components string +that was created as part of the ASoC platform sound card creation routine. The +possible tags that can be seen are: + + - **usbplybkoffld: 1** + - **usbcapoffld: 1** + +**usbplybkoffld** translates to usb offload playback supported, and **usbcapoffld** +translates to USB offload capture supported. Applications can then query the sound +card for further offload status parameters. + +SOC USB and USB Sound Kcontrols +=============================== +Details +------- +SOC USB and USB sound expose a set of SND kcontrols for applications to select +and fetch the current offloading status for the ASoC platform sound card. Kcontrols +are split between two layers: + + - USB sound - Notifies the sound card number for the ASoC platform sound + card that it is registered to for supporting audio offload. + + - SOC USB - Maintains the current status of the offload path, and device + (USB sound card and PCM device) information. This would be the main + card that applications can read to determine offloading capabilities. + +Implementation +-------------- + +**Example:** + + **Sound Cards**: + + :: + + 0 [SM8250MTPWCD938]: sm8250 - SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-D + SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-DMIC + 1 [C320M ]: USB-Audio - Plantronics C320-M + Plantronics Plantronics C320-M at usb-xhci-hcd.1.auto-1, full speed + + + **Platform Sound Card** - card#0: + + :: + + USB Offload Playback Route Status -1, -1 (range -1->32) + USB Offload Playback Route Select 1, 0 (range -1->32) + + + **USB Sound Card** - card#1: + + :: + + USB Offload Playback Capable Card 0 (range -1->32) + + +The platform sound card(card#0) kcontrols are created as part of adding the SOC +USB device using **snd_soc_usb_add_port()**. The following kcontrols are defined +as: + + - ``USB Offload Playback Route Status`` **(R)**: USB sound card and PCM device + index pair that defines which USB SND resources are currently offloaded. If + -1, -1 is seen, it signifies that offload is not active. + - ``USB Offload Playback Route Select`` **(R/W)**: USB sound card and PCM device + index pair which selects the USB device to initiate offloading on. If no value + is written to the kcontrol, then the last USB device discovered will be chosen. + +The USB sound card(card#1) kcontrols are created as USB audio devices are plugged +into the physical USB port and enumerated. The kcontrols are defined as: + + - ``USB Offload Playback Capable Card`` **(R)**: Provides the sound card + number/index that supports USB offloading. Further/follow up queries about + the current offload state can be handled by reading the offload status + kcontrol exposed by the platform card. + +USB Offload Playback Route Select Kcontrol +------------------------------------------ +In order to allow for vendor specific implementations on audio offloading device +selection, the SOC USB layer exposes the following: + +.. code-block:: rst + + int (*put_offload_dev)(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, + struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol); + int (*get_offload_dev)(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, + struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol); +.. + +These are specific for the **USB Offload Playback Route Select** kcontrol. + +When users issue get/put calls to the kcontrol, the registered SOC USB callbacks +will execute the registered function calls to the DPCM BE DAI link. + +**Callback Registration:** + +.. code-block:: rst + + static int q6usb_component_probe(struct snd_soc_component *component) + { + ... + usb = snd_soc_usb_allocate_port(component, 1, &data->priv); + if (IS_ERR(usb)) + return -ENOMEM; + + usb->connection_status_cb = q6usb_alsa_connection_cb; + usb->put_offload_dev = q6usb_put_offload_dev; + usb->get_offload_dev = q6usb_get_offload_dev; + + ret = snd_soc_usb_add_port(usb); +.. + +**PUT Callback:** + +Can be used to track current device selection, and to issue any external DSP +commands that might be required for enabling audio offloading. + +.. code-block:: rst + + static int q6usb_put_offload_dev(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, + struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol) + { + ... + if ((cardidx >= 0 && test_bit(cardidx, &data->available_card_slot))) { + data->sel_card_idx = cardidx; + changed = 1; + } + + if ((pcmidx >= 0 && pcmidx < data->status[cardidx].sdev->num_playback)) { + data->sel_pcm_idx = pcmidx; + changed = 1; + } +.. + +The above is an example of keeping track of what the userspace entity is +selecting as the playback device. This can be later used to pass the information +along to the external DSP. + + +USB Offload Playback Route Status +--------------------------------- +SOC USB exposes APIs for keeping track of the offloading state, and expects this +to be maintained by the BE DAI link that created/added the SOC USB device. + +**SOC USB State Flow Example** + +:: + + PCM Core | BE USB DAI Link | SOC USB + | | + snd_pcm_hw_params --------> dai_link->ops->hw_params --> snd_soc_usb_prepare_session + | | |--> state = SND_SOC_USB_PREPARED + ... | | |--> slot[0] now active + | | + | | + snd_pcm_do_prepare--------> dai_link->ops->prepare ---> snd_soc_usb_set_session_state + | | |--> state = SND_SOC_USB_RUNNING + ... | | + | | + snd_pcm_release_substream-> dai_link->ops->shutdown---> snd_soc_usb_shutdown_session + | | |--> state = SND_SOC_USB_IDLE + | | |--> slot[0] now idle + + +When executing the kcontrol get callback, it will loop across the active_list array +and report to the application for active USB sound card and USB PCM device indexes. + +USB Offload Playback Capable Card +--------------------------------- +USB sound also creates a kcontrol for applications to help determine which platform +sound card USB offloading is linked to. This will allow applications to further +query the platform sound card for specific information about the current USB offload +status. + +This is added as a separate mixer driver: + - mixer_usb_offload.c + - kcontrol: snd_usb_offload_available_ctl + +**snd_usb_offload_available_get()** fetches the associated sound card by utilizing +the **snd_soc_usb_device_offload_available()** API. + +Mixer Examples +-------------- + + :: + + tinymix -D 0 set 'USB Offload Playback Route Select' 2 0 + + + :: + + tinymix -D 0 get 'USB Offload Playback Route Select' + --> 2, 0 (range 0->32) + + :: + + tinymix -D 0 get 'USB Offload Playback Route Status' + --> 2, 0 (range -1->32) [OFFLD active] + --> -1, -1 (range -1->32) [OFFLD idle] + + :: + + tinymix -D 0 get 'USB Offload Playback Capable Card' + --> 0 (range 0->32)
