If the playback and capture of the same McASP is connected to different
dai link (non duplex PCM links, like with pcm3168a codec) then there is
a high probability of race between the two direction leaving McASP in a
confused state.

Protect the hw_params() with a mutex to make sure that this is not
happening.

The concurrent execution of hw_params for capture and playback can be
easily triggered with custom .asoundrc file (for pcm3168a codec):

pcm.dmixed8 {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 2048
    ipc_perm 0666
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
        format S24_LE
        channels 8
        rate 96000
    }
    bindings {
        0 0
        1 1
        2 2
        3 3
        4 4
        5 5
        6 6
        7 7
    }
}

pcm.cpb-headset-1 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm dmixed8

    hint {
         show on
         description "Headset 1 jack"
    }
    ttable.0.0 1
    ttable.1.4 1
}

pcm.dsnooped6 {
    type dsnoop
    ipc_key 2049
    ipc_perm 0666
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,1"
        format S24_LE
        channels 6
        rate 96000
    }
    bindings {
        0 0
        1 1
        2 2
        3 3
        4 4
        5 5
    }
}

pcm.cpb-mic-1 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dsnooped6"

    hint {
         show on
         description "Microphone 1 jack"
    }
    ttable.0.0 1
    ttable.1.3 1
}

Then running:
arecord -D cpb-mic-1 -f S24_LE -c2 -r48000 | aplay -D cpb-headset-1 -f S24_LE -c2 -r48000

This feels like something we might want to consider moving up to the
core, though not every device is going to need it I guess it should be
safe to do there.

soc_pcm_hw_params() is already protected by
mutex_lock_nested(&rtd->pcm_mutex, rtd->pcm_subclass);

which (I think) gives protection for dai_links when they support both
playback and capture.

I faced with the concurrency when interfacing with pcm3168a codec, which
require two dai_links. One for playback and one for capture so they
don't share the same snd_soc_pcm_runtime.

I believe moving the
mutex_lock_nested(&rtd->pcm_mutex, rtd->pcm_subclass);

to card level could substitute (new mutex on the card for pcm operations
probably) the need to handle this in drivers.

We would need to change soc-core/pcm/compress for this.

Yeah, it'd be a reasonably substantial change.

OK, works fine on several boards, I'll send a patch tomorrow after a bit
more testing.

Ah, excellent, thanks for that!  That was more of a "we should do this"
thing than a "do this instead" thing but obviously fixing more systems
is even better so please don't let me stop you.  Only sending applied
mails when I push things out solves one set of problems but does make
for other races :/
