Current implementation of ALSA PCM core has a kernel API, snd_pcm_period_elapsed(), for drivers to queue event to awaken processes from waiting for available frames. The function voluntarily acquires lock of PCM substream, therefore it is not called in process context for any PCM operation since the lock is already acquired. It is convenient for packet-oriented driver, at least for drivers to audio and music unit in IEEE 1394 bus. The drivers are allowed by Linux FireWire subsystem to process isochronous packets queued till recent isochronous cycle in process context in any time. This commit adds snd_pcm_period_elapsed() variant, snd_pcm_period_elapsed_without_lock(), for drivers to queue the event in the process context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
