Linus Torvalds 4b820e167b Revert "ALSA: usb-audio: Reduce latency at playback start"
This reverts commit 9ce650a75a.

This commit causes watchdog lockups on my machine, and while I have no
idea what the cause is, it bisected right to this commit, and reverting
the change promptly fixes it.

At least occasionally one of the watchdog call traces was

  Call Trace:
    _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x35/0x40
    snd_pcm_period_elapsed+0x1b/0xa0 [snd_pcm]
    snd_usb_endpoint_start+0x1a0/0x3c0 [snd_usb_audio]
    start_endpoints+0x23/0x90 [snd_usb_audio]
    snd_usb_substream_playback_trigger+0x7b/0x1a0 [snd_usb_audio]
    snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0x1c44/0x2360 [snd_pcm]
    snd_pcm_ioctl+0x2e/0x40 [snd_pcm]
    __se_sys_ioctl+0x72/0xc0
    do_syscall_64+0x4c/0xa0
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

so presumably it's a locking error on that substream spinlock that
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() takes.  But at this point I just want to have a
working system so that I can continue the merge window work tomorrow.

README

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.
