[PATCH] ALSA: usx2y: Drain pending US-428 pipe-4 output commands

From: Cássio Gabriel

Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 23:20:57 EST


The US-428 pipe-4 output path submits at most one pending p4out
entry from the shared-memory ring per input interrupt. If userspace
queues more than one command before the interrupt handler runs, later
commands remain pending until later input interrupts, even when async
pipe-4 URBs are available.

Drain pending entries while idle async URBs are available. Copy each
command into the existing per-URB async buffer before submission, so the
submitted transfer does not depend on a userspace-mapped ring slot
remaining unchanged after p4out_sent is advanced.

Also update p4out_sent only after usb_submit_urb() succeeds, so a
failed submission is not reported as sent.

This keeps the shared-memory ABI unchanged and fixes only the local
queue-draining behavior.
