#rockbox log for 2007-05-08

00:00:31kurbjunkjhMikeS, the traffic is increase by 4, each write to the sc606 is done on each tick and it takes 4 ticks to do a full update
00:00:51amiconnbluebrother: No, like telling the pcf to draw more than 100mA, but not more than usb allows
00:01:04H10_007quickThe point is that there is infomation on the wiki that new people could use but most new people such as myself have no idea were to find it. The manual is good, but it couldn't hurt to try to gather the information in the wiki into one place.
00:01:04bluebrotherah, ok.
00:01:09kurbjunkyou can do multiple writes to speed it up if you don't care about making the tick tasks take longer
00:01:09amiconnIt's not really made for this, so it needs special measures
00:01:27bluebrotherH10_007quick, can you define what this information is then?
00:01:30amiconnThat's probably why iriver settled for a separate LiIon charger chip rather than using the pcf
00:01:33jhMikeSsince I'm getting up to speed here, what did it do before?
00:01:39bluebrothersounds nasty :(
00:01:41kurbjunkit's written to be a more generic update, so that you can do things like fade the buttonlights with the backlight
00:02:05H10_007quickThats what I want to do, I just want to start a new wiki page and work on it, then if it is no good we can trash it!
00:02:26LloreanH10_007quick: And we're trying to figure out why the manual can't be improved to solve the same problem
00:02:32LloreanTruly "new" users shouldn't be in the wiki
00:02:43LloreanThey should read the manual, use the software, and then not be new users any more.
00:02:52mrkI'm a truly new user <_<
00:02:55kurbjunkthe sc606 registers are dvided into 4 banks, enable, and 3 for the brightness of the leds
00:02:58mrkI've just read the manual
00:03:16 Quit Thundercloud_ (Remote closed the connection)
00:03:17kurbjunkactually you could save a write if you are just fading
00:03:25kurbjunkand not enabling/disabling
00:03:37kurbjunkbut that's still a 3 fold increase
00:03:55kurbjunkor well 2 more writes to do a full update
00:04:10H10_007quickLlorean: Ah, i give up, I may work on the manual
00:04:12amiconnbluebrother: It's indeed nasty, and requires sort of circumventing a safety measure in the pcf
00:04:15 Join juxtap [0] (n=juxtap@vc-196-207-45-253.3g.vodacom.co.za)
00:04:16bluebrotherH10_007quick, do you really need to create a wiki page just to tell what the information is you are talking about?
00:04:23amiconn...and then doing a bit of monitoring in software
00:04:43LloreanH10_007quick: We're just trying to figure out what information this is you're even talking about, you're being very evasive by constantly avoiding just telling us what information it is.
00:05:14bluebrotherif we know what information is missing (according to you) we can decide if it's information that should go to the manual or not
00:05:23bluebrotherand if it should go to the manual we can fix it.
00:05:27H10_007quickok I will start a list and give it to you latter
00:05:37bluebrotherif you just create a wiki page the manual won't change
00:05:42bluebrothergreat.
00:06:37jhMikeSI see it assumes DEFAULT_BRIGHTNESS_SETTING when fading out
00:07:07kurbjunkjhMikeS, the state machines are pretty straight forward though, and you can change them around pretty easily, but the code changes I did were based on the really generic approach to fading. again though I talked with goddhart about it and he felt that the really generic approach made for more flexibiliy, for example you could easily add in some code to pulse the buttonlights with the music or somethign ilke that
00:07:08jhMikeSat least I _think_ I see that
00:07:59amiconnApart from power management, I'd say the X5 and M5 ports are on par with the coldfire irivers, so definitely a release target if we solve the power management stuff before
00:09:03Lloreanamiconn: It'd be nice if someone got dual boot working, but I don't think that's a "release" requirement. But if the radio's still not working as well as the original firmware, I think that's a problem. Not a significant one, but it speaks negatively of us if we "release" with a known problem in the FM support.
00:09:11kurbjunkjhMikeS, it should be fading toward either 0, or the brightness_setting
00:09:12bluebrotherhmm. Is it just me with the ipod rebooting to disk mode sometimes even if Menu is held during connecting?
00:09:26jhMikeSso long as no compromise is made to existing functionality, I agree the flexibility is good
00:09:26pixelmajhMikeS, kurbjunk: the thing that one has to press buttons in settings twice is a general menu problem, I have it on M5 too with a build from before kurbjunk's commit in other settings
00:09:27amiconnAnd regarding dual boot, the archoses never supported *true* dual boot unless flashed
00:09:34bluebrotherisn't the fm the same chip as the h100?
00:10:14 Part Joely
00:10:16 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
00:10:21jhMikeSpixelma: I've never seen it until now though, and the same menu (different name) on the sansa seems to work
00:10:38amiconnI couldn't find any problems with fm support on the X5...
00:10:47pixelmajhMikeS: Nico_P also reported it on his gigabeat
00:11:09kurbjunkjhMikeS, there were some delays in the original fading code as well, I think it took 2 ticks to do a fade update, and now it takes 4, so if you faded by 2 instead of 1 it should be the same
00:11:13jhMikeSpixelma: do you recall where?
00:11:19Lloreanamiconn: My understanding is that reception is poorer, and it's harder to tune in certain stations than the original firmware. Since I only have second-hand reports on that, I'll take any refutation happily.
00:11:26kurbjunksame speed that is
00:11:42amiconnI can't compare to the original firmware as I never used it
00:11:49jhMikeSLlorean: for x5 fm, that's true without code to set the HI/LO injection correctly
00:12:01kurbjunkthe old code had a fade delay value, that it would pause fading every other tick
00:12:14pixelmajhMikeS: in what settings? I've seen it in the sound settings - I'm not sure if that's what you mean
00:12:23amiconnI can only say that reception works and is fairly good, about the same as on the other fm enabled targets I have
00:12:39amiconn(which are the h1x0, the h300 and a (new type) Ondio FM)
00:12:44jhMikeSpixelma: no...only thing I saw there was voice trouble to due setting the pcm low latency
00:12:59kurbjunkpixelma, thanks for letting me know
00:13:01amiconnX5 reception is actually better than on h1x0 imho (better sensitivity)
00:13:37jhMikeSamiconn: I guess these thing are region dependent in a big way...trying to fix it here made it worse for preglow
00:13:48amiconnbluebrother: The fm chip in the X5 is (at first sight) not the same as in the irivers and new type Ondios, but I suspect it actually is
00:13:50pixelmajhMikeS: I still don't get what you are referring too, sorry

00:14:15 Quit juxtap (Remote closed the connection)
00:14:18 Quit Siltaar (Remote closed the connection)
00:14:44jhMikeSpixelma: just that voice would not play out in the sound menu properly while playback was going, other than that I've never seen this exit problem in any menu
00:15:04amiconnIt uses the same commands, and the D&A DA202 is actually called an fm tuner _module_, which is most probably built around the philips TEA5767
00:15:10Nico_PjhMikeS: I have exit problems
00:15:37pixelmajhMikeS: I have no voice file present on my M5 atm - and the bug was introduced today
00:16:26jhMikeSWell, if it this feature was added today then that explains it since it was my first update
00:16:30amiconnLlorean: I wonder how reception could be poorer. Harder tuning I wouldn't notice, as I always use premade .fmr files (from the wiki or self-made)
00:17:00bluebrothercould be region related
00:17:07Lloreanamiconn: Perhaps the person was generalizing. Saying reception was poorer, simply because it was harder to tune.
00:17:20kurbjunkgotta run

00:19:13jhMikeSheh, ok, they're all doing it. I never checked other menu after doing svn up...lol
00:19:46amiconnI know that the rework of the existing strings is still pending, but why are new strings which only make sense on a single target added for all targets??

00:51:45krush1704Thanks guys! everything works fine now. I'll create another folder for the simulation
00:52:03jhMikeSok, I didn't look at the implementation for that
00:52:16linuxstbjhMikeS: Maybe something like "get_codec_stack_address" would be a better name
00:52:18CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
00:52:18*jhMikeS is easily alarmed
00:52:49amiconnlinuxstb: Why don't you just create another stack for the codec in the plugin?
00:52:58jhMikeSmight be
00:53:05linuxstbamiconn: Because it needs to be in IRAM
00:53:16amiconnYeah, and? So use iram....
00:53:26linuxstbI can't - the plugin loads codecs
00:53:28amiconnI guess this plugin stops playback anyway...
00:53:52jhMikeSif the plugin uses IRAM, then the codec can't run
00:54:12amiconnWell, does the plugin actually call the codec?
00:54:30linuxstbYes, that's the whole point...
00:54:38*amiconn would think just linking the codeclib to a test plugin would be way easier
00:54:58 Quit bluebrother (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
00:55:02linuxstbThat would need 1 test plugin for every codec though.
00:55:10amiconnYeah, and?
00:55:21linuxstbThen I think my approach is easier.
00:55:26amiconnI doubt any dev will work on optimizing a dozen codecs at once
00:56:12linuxstbYou can't just link the codec lib - you would need to implement a decoder using that lib.
00:56:23amiconnJust thinking kiss here... introducing a function just for stealing the stack from the core codec for testing purposes only doesn't sould like kiss
00:57:25linuxstbI agree it's not perfect, but I think the test plugin is worth it.
00:57:48jhMikeSwell, you could use info from the scheduler about the saved context since the thread isn't running
00:58:21linuxstbThe same function could be used for mpegplayer as well though - to reuse the codec thread's IRAM stack for mpegplayer's audio thread.
00:58:55amiconnI think a better approach would be to make libmad use less stack
00:58:57jhMikeSPeek at the thread_entry structure
01:00
01:00:13linuxstbamiconn: I wish it did use less stack - it does seem to have suffered from over-optimisation a little...
01:02:05amiconnStack hijacking sounds like a weird idea... but there is a more important problem with an extra function: this function needs to exist unconditionally

01:02:37amiconnOtherwise running the test plugin on a plain core would make it hard crash

01:04:21linuxstbThat was the first thing I looked at, but the codec thread seems too tied to PCM playback.
01:04:34jhMikeShow?
01:04:55linuxstbWell, it's tied to PCM playback...
01:05:15linuxstbOr maybe I misunderstood...
01:05:16jhMikeSredirect the insert function and I think it should work
01:06:05linuxstbBut I also want to avoid the core buffering functions - so I can do a decode completely from RAM.
01:06:41linuxstbApart from this stack issue, I'm very happy with the way it works - the plugin itself is simple and flexible.
01:07:39Aloneai have not had a chance to look at it, but how is the new button light function working out so far?

01:36:15linuxstb_kkurbjun: I would vote for two words
01:36:27kkurbjunsounds good :)
01:36:37kkurbjunwheel light is two words too
01:36:46AloneaI mean, my spell check says both should be 2 words
01:37:11kkurbjunyes, so does mine
01:37:21Aloneaas in "back light" and "button light" is correct, but I get red lines on backlight and buttonlight
01:37:54kkurbjunthat was why I was wondering since we use backlight as one word
01:38:25Aloneawho knows. something tells me we don't have english majors on the rockbox team

01:45:08jhMikeSkkurbjun: nice message too :)
01:45:15pearldiverdid you implement any buttonlights modes?
01:45:21kkurbjun:)
01:46:06pearldiveri remember my favourite one was charging mode :P
01:46:11kkurbjunpearldiver, no, it only has the same modes that the sansa has right now, on, off, and different timeout settings (you can match the follow mode if you like by setting the timeout to the same as the backlight)
01:46:30pearldiveraha
01:46:41kkurbjunI think the other modes should be implemented in a generic manner so that the sansa can benefit as well
01:46:55kkurbjunor other players that have buttonlights
01:46:58jhMikeSwe can use the button lights as a HD light? I wonder how unnerving that would be.
01:47:16Aloneaif we ever get the lights to pulse to the music, I will cackle manically
01:47:21pearldiverjhMikeS there used to be such mode as well
01:47:56jhMikeSa bit too flashy for my taste :P
01:47:57kkurbjunI think that feature could be useful when i'm skilling actually, that way I could know when I should slow down on the bumps
01:48:02Aloneaor start pulsing and doing patterns depending on beat for music...
01:48:18Aloneaand it is indeed flashy, but it would be cool to stare at for a while
01:48:50pearldiveri agree with jhMikeS, too flashy

01:51:19AloneaI mean, I can stare at the visualizations for an hour on my Xbox 360...and on wmp. Hmmm, more visualizations for rockbox...maybe a way for them to come on after a certain time if you want?
01:52:28Aloneaor just loading them as a plugin is fine of course. If I had a clue how to program it, I would make some.
01:55:25jhMikeSA plugin could do it but it needs some nice way of accessing the pcm data about to go out to the sound chip
01:57:38Aloneaoh yes, way over my head indeed. At least at this point it is. Looking at code for me where its just running on a computer is one thing, but software for a device like this I don't have any understanding yet.

02:02:10Aloneakkurbjun: there is that, but then what do you recommend I learn from?
02:02:46*jhMikeS recommends long staring sessions at the code until it just makes sense...that's his technique
02:02:53kkurbjunI just started by looking at simple code and playing around with that to figure out the syntax and all that

09:19:50Aloneai would not know. USB is perfectly fine for me on my gigabeat.
09:20:53bishillohum... that was extracted from ipod faq... maybe right now is solved... I tried an experimental build and didn't work, but I dunno if that was the cause, or on ipods in general is not working...
09:21:26Aloneawell, try a daily build instead
09:21:33bishilloI will
09:22:05Aloneaits best to start with those anyway. I mean, I don't use them anymore. I compile myself so I can have my insert and album art patch.
09:22:08 Quit kkurbjun ("Leaving.")
09:22:55bishilloinsert patch?
09:23:20Aloneabut I would just get rockbox working properly before doing anything crazy. and just be careful and read the instructions and DON'T skip steps. Its bad when we see people brick their players due to not reading carefully and skipping over steps they think are not needed
09:24:08B4gderusb is not supported by Rockbox natively on any PP target (ipod, sansa, iriver h10)
09:24:49Aloneathe insert patch allows you to insert a song to the beginning, next, etc. to the current playlist by selecting the song. Kind of like when you click on music files in windows and it just adds it to the list in WMP
09:25:20Aloneayou can of course turn it off and such if you don't like it later or don't want it to do it.

10:54:47pondlifeOK
10:55:01B4gderI think this approach makes sense
10:55:36linuxstbIf it's compiled by default, it needs to be in the manual, and I don't think the test plugins should be in the manual...
10:55:52pondlifeNo problem. I was just thinking that perhaps you'd want users to help collate stats - all codecs on all devices.
10:57:02linuxstbThat could be useful, but I think there are enough users capable of compiling to do that.
10:57:32B4gderperhaps we should even provide a set of test songs to use for such benchmarks
10:58:01amiconn...i-river... catch the digital flow.... ;)
10:58:45B4gder:-O
10:58:54linuxstbThat has the advantage of being short - and I think rasher has a set of encodings on his website...
10:59:01B4gderlet's record a rockbox song at devcon ;-P
10:59:07amiconnrasher has a set of this in various encodings on his website
10:59:16*amiconn too slow
10:59:29linuxstbThe main limitation is that test_codec needs to be able to buffer the whole track before decoding - so for the 16MB targets it needs to be around 13-14MB in the lossless formats.
10:59:58amiconnhehe
11:00
11:00:09*amiconn imagines testing flac with test_codec on iFP...

11:07:06linuxstbAs the files are already there, I think we may as well choose the iriver song for testing. I wonder if rasher can handle the bandwidth...
11:07:47linuxstbIt needs a few more formats as well though.
11:07:50JdGordonis that file gpl?
11:08:29linuxstbI don't care - rasher is the one distributing it...
11:10:32linuxstbMaybe it would be more efficient to distribute a test track in flac, along with a script to do all the encodings. Although that obviously requires people to have all the encoders...

15:38:50hcsit seems that whenever I get to the end of a playlist playback pauses for whatever plays next, is this intended?
15:41:29JdGordonwhat is you auto-change directory setting set to?
15:41:57hcsNo
15:42:26amiconnhcs: A, so it's consistent?
15:42:34hcsI mean, when playback has finished, and I select something else to play, it starts out paused.
15:42:44*amiconn also observed this once, but didn't think it might be consistent
15:42:50hcsyeah, though I rarely get to the end of a playlist so I just now began noticing it

15:55:04linuxstbJdGordon: Yes, I found those settings, but there appear to be two bugs - 1) If "timeout" is set to off (which I'm assuming is the way to disable them), they still come on at boot; 2) If you set the timeout to off but then go into the brightness setting, they stay on forever after leaving the brightness setting screen.
15:56:13linuxstbI don't know if this counts as a bug, but brightness "0" isn't the same as off.

16:31:42variantis it likely to be particularly difficult to port rockbox to an archos gmini xs 100? i mean, it must be a bunch of fairly standard parts right?

16:59:04hcsfade() in gwps-common.c seems to be the one responsible for the fatal pause
17:00
17:03:45jhMikeShcs: Q_AUDIO_STOP clears the "paused" flag. "paused" state implies "playing" state. If "paused" is true without "playing" being true, that should be addressed and Q_AUDIO_PAUSE should be filtered to take no action if not playing.
17:04:14hcsit looks like it doesn't clear that flag, though
17:04:55jhMikeSwhich?

17:06:55jhMikeS_AUDIO_PAUSE should not be setting paused to true if playing isn't true. If it does, the states should be better filtered so they remain valid.
17:07:07hcsI don't think it is
17:07:17hcsbut it might
17:07:34jhMikeSthere's only two places where playing is written
17:08:05hcsQ_AUDIO_STOP is being sent when !playing.
17:09:00jhMikeSthat's ok actually
17:09:12hcsyeah, but that's why it isn't cleared the paused flag
17:09:31jhMikeSit won't if !playing, since audio_stop_playback will be skipped
17:09:47jhMikeSpaused shouldn't be set to true if !playing however
17:09:51hcsand you're correct, the issue is Q_AUDIO_PAUSE sent when not paused
17:10:12hcsso I think I'll throw in the same condition what _AUDIO_STOP has for _PAUSE

17:17:02amiconnHappens even with fade on stop disabled
17:20:31jhMikeSI'm wondering, is there any compelling reason to allow playback to start paused? Nothing in the UI seems to allow it, but it could be allowed.

17:26:43peturwell don't mind me, just get rid of it ;)

17:28:30peturindeed
17:29:46jhMikeSwhere are the details on that recording report you linked to? I can't seem to find anything at those links.
17:31:02peturdetails? it's just a post of a guy who claims to have gotten that warning and then asked what the new stuff was when he installed the REP, so he must have been running SVN

17:34:29jhMikeSI'm not quite reading it as "he must have been running SVN" but just as asking about mmmm's later update. :\

17:42:20jhMikeSthis damaged file stuff sounds like something FAT related to me, especially the overwrite when the disk filled. some dropped samples should never damage a file.

19:13:53Rincewind_replaygain avererages every recording to 89db - old ones and classical get a little bit louder, new ones quiter, so that they have the same percived loudness
19:14:32amiconnI know what it does, I only wonder why it makes the volume lower compared to no replaygain applied
19:14:38Nico_PLear: how would I do that ? I tried changing "#define logf _logf" to "#define logf DEBUGF" but got compile errors
19:14:45 Quit pondlife ("disconnected has pondlife")
19:14:54amiconnIf the reference level is 89dB, I would expect that to be equal to the volume without replaygain
19:15:15Rincewind_amiconn: well, that's the whole point of it.
19:15:27amiconn?
19:15:46Rincewind_it used to be the reference level in the 70s, but current recordings have loudness of 98, because of the 'loudness wars'
19:16:26amiconnah, hmm
19:16:39amiconnUsing the available headroom makes sense, imho
19:16:53Learnico_p: Change the logf implementation for the simulator...
19:16:55markunamiconn: also, replaygain prevents clipping by lowering the volume
19:17:28amiconnmarkun: How so? If a recording is already clipped, lowering the volume won't un-clip it...
19:17:31 Quit bluey- ("Leaving")
19:17:36Nico_Pwow there's a hell of a lot of output
19:17:52markunamiconn: no, but if you raise the volume of the faint recording you can introduce it
19:17:54LearLossy encoding can (often) add clipping.
19:18:14markunLear: at least if you play it back at the original volume
19:19:00Nico_Pwhat's the __PCTOOL__ define ?
19:19:44Rincewind_yes, the problem is with the encoding, it can introduce clipping that wasn't there in the original cd image
19:19:48nlsNico_P: for the stand-alone databas building tool
19:19:48amiconnIt was introduced mainly for the database PC tool
19:19:56Nico_Pah
19:20:10amiconnI also use it for the charcell map output pc tool
19:20:37Learmarkun: I mean digital clipping that happens when doing the conversion to output sample format.
19:21:38markunLear: yes, I know
19:21:54LearSo it happens regardless of volume...
19:22:07markunLear: I mean that replaygain is performed before that
19:22:14markunso can prevent clipping
19:22:40markunI wasn't talking about the volume of the DAC
19:22:46Rincewind_the replaygain volume adjustment is _before_ the d/a, in the digital domain. So clipping can really be prevented
19:23:07LearExactly.

19:25:29Rincewind_it really isn't the same as lowering the volume yourself. I experience this every time I put music on my dap that I forgot to replaygain

19:33:02markunwasn't xing the reason why people thought that joint-stereo was a bad idea?
19:33:13Rincewind_nls: replaygain stores a peak value in the tag. If the recording is very quit but has a high peak, then you get clipping with RG without the prevention

21:13:52saratogaI've spent the last couple years using it for my research, so i'm tempted to continue using it
21:14:13nlssaratoga: it compiles slow as HELL
21:14:23nlsother than that it works ok :-)
21:14:34Bagderthe speed is really the main (only?) difference
21:15:06Bagderand you can always switch to or try a linux env if you grow bored of cygwin in the middle
21:15:47saratogaspeed is not a huge concern for me anyway

22:02:26BagderI'm not sure really

22:13:46hcsI'm testing with the (!playing) check in paused removed and paused=false before the call to audio_stop_codec_flush(), seems to be working as expected
22:15:53jhMikeSSo, exactly what was the need for allowing pausing while !playing? I think it's rather unsavory unless pausing from stop mean basically starting playback paused with all buffering action occurring.
22:16:40hcsLear seemed to think that "The fade on stop relies on pcm_is_paused to return proper values. Seems pcm isn't paused any longer, after a stop (if the stop was done before the pause done by the fade)."
22:17:07hcsmaybe pcm_is_paused should also return true if !playing?
22:17:51hcsfeels like this should all be one state, rather than seperate flags for playing and paused
22:19:43hcsclearing the pause on play seems to be the minimal fix needed and avoids the larger question of whether paused and !playing are mutually exclusive
22:20:04 Part kaaloo
22:23:23jhMikeSit needn't be excusive but I think state transistion and what they mean need to be clearly defined. posting Q_AUDIO_STOP before playing isn't really the right thing either.

23:01:50jhMikeSfor now, if hw used queue_send it could stabilize it and maybe even reduce binary size. It reduced it on SWCODEC a good bit.
23:02:50*ender` yawns
23:03:38*jhMikeS realizes most of what he says here is very dry ;)
23:03:48hcsremoving that loop causes the volume to pop back up briefly when fading on my gigabeat
23:04:13jhMikeSdid you replace the queue_post call in audio_pause with queue_send?
23:05:07*amiconn doesn't even know what's the exact difference
23:05:20hcsno, trying it now
23:05:46jhMikeSqueue_send actually blocks a thread and the reply received is specific to that message
23:06:05amiconnhmm
23:06:23amiconnI though the whole queue stuff is for asynchronous messaging
23:06:28amiconn*thought
23:06:42amiconnIf you want it synchronous, just use callbacks
23:06:55jhMikeSwell, the receiver can block the thread until the message is considered processed
23:07:03amiconnBack in hwcodec-only times there was only queue_post...
23:07:06hcsyep, fading works right with queue_send
23:07:54amiconnIt just sounds complicated... i.e. not kiss
23:07:57jhMikeShow can callbacks help?
23:08:00amiconnMaybe it's not
23:08:09hcsif nothing else, it seems a bad name choice
23:08:34hcsunless post vs. send is a standard I'm not aware of
23:08:37jhMikeSqueue send also lets a return value be received from a thread processing a message
23:08:55*jhMikeS stole it from PostMessage, SendMessage in windows
23:08:56amiconnYes, but iiuc the point of queue_send is synchronous execution
23:09:32jhMikeSsort of, the processing thread can reply at any point once the requested message is considered processed by the receiver
23:09:34amiconn...and I can't see why you want the other thread to do it instead of just doing it yourself if you want it synchronous
23:09:55amiconn...i.e. just call a function.

23:10:15jhMikeSwhen it only safe to have things processed by a certain thread
23:10:52amiconnWhich things might be like that (dual core issues aside)?
23:10:55jhMikeSand it must observe the order of request at the same time
23:11:03jhMikeSrecording
23:12:15amiconnhmm....
23:12:20jhMikeScontrol is precise on when threads are woken
23:12:53hcswell, good luck
23:12:56jhMikeSthe thread being woken *knows* the reply was for its particular instance of a message
23:12:57 Quit hcs ("CGI:IRC")
23:13:17amiconnI know that it's rather different... but hwcodec recording does fine without such complicated stuff
23:13:47amiconnqueue_send() & co are disabled for hwcodec afaics
23:16:05 Part krush1704
23:16:34amiconnWouldn't it be equally safe if the caller just does the work itself (via a function call), which blocks the other thread (e.g. via a mutex)?

23:18:16*amiconn would like to understand this mechanism, and if/why it is necessary
23:18:37jhMikeSit could be if the worker thread is always using the mutex too, the sort of does that and allows the worker thread to run unblocked
23:19:32amiconnHow?
23:20:05jhMikeSyou could block both threads and deadlock using a mutex
23:20:07amiconnWhat happens if the caller uses queue_send() but the other thread is busy doing something else?
23:20:32amiconnThen the caller might wait forever if the other thread doesn't check its queue
23:21:01jhMikeSthe caller waits, the worker pulls the message wich shows a blocked thread, the worker processes then replies at any point it considers the request satisifed
23:21:01amiconnA thread cannot block itself, so how could it deadlock?
23:21:43jhMikeSthe worker could try to enter the lock when the the caller has it locked and might have to wait for something else
23:22:26amiconnhmmm
23:22:37jhMikeSthe mechanism is really, really simple and not a required overhead on all queues, it keeps the complication localized in the kernel instead of having to implement it all over the place

23:23:22amiconnSynchronous queues could also deadlock though
23:24:16jhMikeSyes, if one thread waits on the other to proceed at something...that resume deadlock is just such a case

23:27:59jhMikeSat least with some syncing, the worker can decide when it when a state transition is processed and the caller knows the state is what was asked at the time of return, just by queue_send and a queue_reply by the worker, nothing to it.

23:54:44markunLlorean: the new bootloader enter USB mode if you insert the cable before booting
23:54:50LloreanAh
23:54:55LloreanI hadn't tried with the newest one.
23:54:56scorcheLlorean: do you think the 3.0 discussion should be better held at devcon rather than devcon-w?
23:55:20Lloreanscorche: I certainly would love for it to be held at Devcon, and then we can offer our own opinions on it after.

23:57:05scorcheor, i suppose it isnt doing any harm there
23:57:29LloreanThe way I figure, even if they talk about it, we should too.
23:57:50LloreanEven if it's just for 5 minutes to say "Yeah, their plan looks good"
23:58:24scorchei just didnt see the point of adding it to ours, but not theirs
23:58:36LloreanHonestly, I didn't think of adding it to theirs.
23:58:47LloreanSince I wasn't going, it didn't even enter my mind.
