If we are shutting down due to kexec and the userspace is frozen, the
system will stall forever waiting for userspace to complete.

Do not wait for the clients to complete in that case.

This fixes:

Hi Oliver

Thanks for your review

This patchset does not modify this behaviour. It simply fixes the
stall for kexec().

The  patch that introduced the stall:
83bfc7e793b5 ("ASoC: SOF: core: unregister clients and machine drivers
in .shutdown")

was sent as a generalised version of:
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/3388

AFAIK, we would need a similar patch for every single board.... which
I am not sure it is doable in a reasonable timeframe.

On the meantime this seems like a decent compromises. Yes, a
miss-behaving userspace can still stall during suspend, but that was
not introduced in this patch.

Regards!

As I already mentioned in another thread, if the user-space action has
to be cut off, we just need to call snd_card_disconnect() instead
without sync.  A quick hack would be like below (totally untested and
might be wrong, though).

In anyway, Ricardo, please stop spinning too frequently; v8 in a few 
days is way too much, and now the recipient list became unmanageable.
Let's give people some time to review and consider a better solution
at first.


thanks,

Takashi

I've posted an alternative to ALSA list that reverts the problematic
patch and fixes the problem (the patch was originally addressing)
in a different way:

https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2022-December/209776.html

No changes outside sound/soc/ are needed with this approach.

Br, Kai
