[PATCH v1 0/4] ALSA: compress_offload: Add 64-bit safe timestamp API
Posted by George Verhaegen 2 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Joris Verhaegen <verhaegen@google.com>

The current compress offload timestamping API relies on
struct snd_compr_tstamp, whose cumulative counters like
copied_total are defined as __u32. On long-running high-resolution
audio streams, these 32-bit counters can overflow,
causing incorrect availability calculations.

This patch series introduces a parallel, 64-bit safe API to solve
this problem while maintaining perfect backward compatibility with the
existing UAPI. A new pointer64 operation and corresponding ioctls
are added to allow the kernel to track counters using u64 and expose
these full-width values to user-space.

The series is structured as follows:

Patch 1: Introduces the new internal pointer64 op, refactors the
core logic to use it, and defines the new UAPI structs.

Patch 2: Exposes the SNDRV_COMPRESS_TSTAMP64 ioctl.

Patch 3: Exposes the corresponding SNDRV_COMPRESS_AVAIL64 ioctl.

Patch 4: Implements the new .pointer64 operation in various ASoC
drivers that support compress offload.

This series has been tested on a Pixel 9 device. All compress offload
use cases, including long-running playback, were verified to work
correctly with the new 64-bit API, and no regressions were observed
when using the legacy API.

Thanks,
George (Joris) Verhaegen

In your testing when did you observe the overflow condition?

Please share patches for tinycompress support too, we need those to test
this

I observed an overflow after ~3.1 hours.
I used a stream with bitrate = 3072 kbps.
So the field copied_total in struct snd_compr_tstamp
overflows after 4294967295÷(3072000/8)÷60÷60= ~3.10689 hours.

I didn't make changes to tinycompress. The overflow happens in the
kernel file compress_offload.c. As a test, I let it run for more than
3.1 hours and observed that the overflow no longer occurs.
The overflow is in
stream->runtime->total_bytes_transferred = tstamp->copied_total

You need to add support for new ioctl in tinycompress too
