[patch 051/108] ALSA: intel8x0 - Fix PCM position craziness

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit f708eb1d71dc8ffb184da9f0bc53461c6dc10653 upstream.

The PCM pointer callback sometimes returns invalid positions and this
screws up the hw_ptr updater in PCM core.  Especially since now the
jiffies check is optional with xrun_debug, the invalid position is
handled as is, and causes serious sound skips, etc.

This patch simplifies the position-fix strategy in intel8x0 to be more
robust:
- just falls back to the last position if bogus position is detected
- another sanity check for the backward move of the position due to
  a race of register update and the base-index update

This patch is applicable also for 2.6.30.
