At shutdown, whether during a reboot or a full shutdown, the process will hang after putting the message "Killing processes using ALSA" on the screen. This is an intermittant problem. Sometimes, the system will shutdown properly. However, when the error hits, it can take upwards of ten minutes to shutdown properly. If the shutdown is forced, the root partition comes up as dirty on the next boot, and receives a full fscking. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Shutdown system normally 2. Receive "Killing processes using ALSA" message 3. Wait ten minutes or more for the computer to finish shutdown cycle. Actual Results: This is an intermittent bug. Sometimes the results are fine, sometimes, not. Expected Results: That this error shouldn't occur. It seems limited to the snd-intel-hda sound chip, as I have two systems with different sound chips, and neither of them experience this issue.

It never really bothers me that much since I tend to shut this machine down at the end of the day, and frankly, I don't care if it takes its sweet time to shut down. The real PITA comes when I'm doing kernel compilation or other things that require reboot. Blessed be! Pappy

Of course, ALSA isn't to blame for these problems, and neither is the init script system. The reporters should investigate which processes that use ALSA are slowing it down.

The reporters should investigate which processes that use ALSA > are slowing it down. > So what is to blame? I do nothing on the machine that acts up that I don't do on the other systems that don't. The only thread that links this problem to others is the fact that it's happening with the snd-intel-hda driver. Maybe it's the chipset...maybe it's the drivers. NO matter what it is, the result is the same. Blessed be! Pappy
Trying to delineat the situation, I have observed that -before the occurrence of this situation- I get amarok not working at all (it will not load) and one directory stalled. It will not display its contents no matter what. It is the parent directory of the directory where my nfs partition is mounted, which is also stalled. I could not find any logs about this, probably because I am unaware of how to search them properly.
OK, I *think* I have a fix for this. I just tried it, and it seems to work. I'm going to leave my machine up overnight pulling in an internet stream via gxine. If anything will cause problems, that will. If my fix works, I'll publish it here. Cross your collective fingers! Blessed be! Pappy
Ok, I have tried this fix eight times, including one time where the machine ran overnight with an internet stream feeding gxine. If there was anything that was sure to cause the problem in this bug, that was it. The problem lies in the /etc/init.d/alsasound file; specifically, the problem exists in function unload_modules_recursive() to whit: unload_modules_recursive() { local revdeps="$(lsmod | sed -n -e "s/,/ /g" -e "s/^$1 *[0-9]* *[0-9]* \(.*\)/\1/p")" for module in ${revdeps} ; do unload_modules_recursive "${module}" done vebegin "Unloading: $1" rmmod --wait "$1" veend $? } The problem lies in the heart of the fucntion 'rmmod --wait "$1"' . If that function gets changed to: unload_modules_recursive() { local revdeps="$(lsmod | sed -n -e "s/,/ /g" -e "s/^$1 *[0-9]* *[0-9]* \(.*\)/\1/p")" for module in ${revdeps} ; do unload_modules_recursive "${module}" done vebegin "Unloading: $1" rmmod --force "$1" veend $? } the kernel can then unload the modules without waiting. It's probably a really dirty fix, but I figure since the computer is shutting down anyway, if this taints the kernel, too bad. Anyway, I have created a patch that I will be sending along after I post this. Please try this and let me know if it works for you as well. I don't think that forced module uloading has to be set in the kernel. If the fix works for you without that option, please let me know. Blessed be! Pappy
Created attachment 162692 [details, diff] patch that fixes snd-intel-hda shutdown hang This is not the world's greatest patch, but it does work.
One final word: if you decide to manually fix /etc/init.d/alsasound, don't forget to make sure it is executable after the fact. Please let me know how this fix works. Blessed be! Pappy
(In reply to comment #10) > > Please let me know how this fix works. Worked for me, thanks Bob. Don't think it's specific to the intel snd driver, I use emu10k1.

Unfortunately, this doesn't fix things. What appears to be happening is something takes hold of alsa, and won't let go. How would I go about finding which program is taking hold? Blessed be! Pappy

It has never occurred again. I know this is not a solution but at least I seem to have found what caused the whole problem. It is nfs that made its directory stall, which in turn made its parent directory stall. The parent directory included the directory where reside the music files that Amarok uses and therefore Amarok was getting stalled and consequently Alsa was having a problem terminating due to Amarok being stalled. This seems to be the story in my case. I have never received an error message. I repeat that the conclusion is due to the fact that after disabling NFS the problem vanished.

I have a similar problem with alsa on shutdown. On my machine neither amarok nor nfs is in use, too. In my case the problem first occured after compiling and using the snd_usb_audio module to get the micro of a logitech usb-webcam running.
I'm curious, has anyone tried editing /etc/init.d/alsasound and actually telling the init not to unload modules and/or kill processes?

The problem remains with alsa-1.0.18. I've turned of system sounds, which keeps it from happening until I use kaffeine or xine-ui. Blessed be! Pappy
I just ran into this issue myself, and in my case, I was able to determine that NFS was trying to shut down, however it had locked up for some yet to be determined reason. Forced to coldboot it. I am in process now of re-emerging world to see if there is improvement.
I see exactly the same symptoms reproducibly. I've just installed kernel-2.6.29-rc7, and the order the modules need to be removed seems to matter. In particular, the alsasound initscript tries to remove snd_hda_realtek_codec before snd_hda_codec - but it hangs waiting for snd_hda_realtek_codec. snd_hda_codec has to be removed first.
Created attachment 186372 [details, diff] alsasound module unload on stop patch Here's a second patch for the issue. This one is much more sophisticated than the previously posted one. Basically this patch ensures that all driver and sequencer modules are unloaded before everything else. Hopefully, this fixes the problem for everyone.
This is a bit weird. The patch *nearly* works for me, but not quite. On boot, the alsasound initscript doesn't complain about anything, but the /var/run/alsasound/alsa.modules file that it creates contains one blank line. And so then when I shutdown I run into the same problem. However, if I stop alsa (I have to manually remove snd_intel_hda before stopping with the initscript), and then start again with the initscript, then the script complains: * Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers. My /proc/asound/cards looks like: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xdfebc000 irq 16 but now /var/run/alsasound/alsa.modules looks like: snd_hda_intel and after that the initscript will shutdown nicely.
I had the same issue and here's what i figured out: Some modules are listed in lsmod without their reverse dependencies. However, number of revdeps is correct. In my lsmod the following line presents: ----- snip ------ snd_hda_codec_realtek 241652 1 ----- snip ------ ^^^^^^ nothing here! I manually figured out that i should rmmod snd_hda_intel for snd_hda_codec_realtek to unload. In comment #14 we see several such modules: > snd_aoa_codec_tas 12160 2 > snd_aoa_fabric_layout 11144 3 > snd_aoa_i2sbus 20580 1 I think it's alsa/kernel bug. Please, report it to them (i don't know where exactly). What i propose is the other algorithm of recursive module unloading: 1) lsmod; 2) pick a module with zero reverse dependencies; 3) rmmod it; 4) repeat. That would work in all cases (except some even more weird). But the problem is more profound.

Just a word of advice. This problem can be very intermittent. If the new patch works properly for at least two weeks, I'd say it's fixed. I've got my fingers crossed.
My computer hadn't shut down properly once since I upgraded to 2.6.29. With alsa-rmmod-topsort.patch, it now shuts down cleanly.

All that should be done is stabilising a newer ALSA. We no longer support module unloading in that version, it was a bad idea in the first place.

One week down, and not a hang in sight. This might actually be the one to do the trick. I'll check back next week. :)

No, i mean in 'user' as app/service what uses this. For example, if you mount something, you see 1 user, but no defined dependency. I think, if sound app is stuck, then the number is greater than 1.

Barring the fact that the patch tells me I have some devices not loading, it has been over two weeks, and I have not experienced a lock up. I'd say this is probably as close to fixed as the problem has been since I posted it. Thanks to all.

(In reply to comment #44) > I think this is solved it misses just to be added on tree I think alsa team is planning to stabilize new alsa which does not unload modules anymore by default, per comment 38. Meanwhile you can try the same behaviour with older alsa as comment 19 suggests. Comment 20 suggests that disabling module unloading just postpones the problem. I don't see how the patches on this bug could help in that case, but if that's still reproducible, then that's a bug to solve IMHO. Otherwise, if disabling module unloading works for you, that's the solution.
(In reply to comment #27) > Created an attachment (id=187365) [edit] > rmmod snd* modules in topological order Worked for me too. Thanks. But I wanted to say that I haven't this problem if I boot with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5 kernel. Only with gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5.
(In reply to comment #27) > Created an attachment (id=187365) [edit] > rmmod snd* modules in topological order > > The patch implements the algorithm proposed in comment #26. Much appreciated. The patch worked for me, as well, running gentoo-sources 2.6.29-r5. And, as in comment #46, under gentoo-sources 2.6.28-r5, the problem did not exist.
If anyone is still having this problem you can fix this by editing: /etc/conf.d/rc And disabling unload modules on shutdown. This is probably for more recent or the MOST recent version of alsa.
The suggestion in comment #19 of setting UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no" in /etc/conf.d/alsasound worked well for me. I did *not* set KILLPROC_ON_STOP to no since that part was not hanging. Perhaps that is the reason I did not get hangs at the end of the shutdown process, as reported in comment #20. /Jakob
I've encountered this bug when building the kernel with the "snd" module compiled in (so it didn't show up in lsmod). My fix I generated here was essentially the same as the last patch attached to this bug (i.e. remove snd* modules that have 0 dependents until all are removed). However, I would say that the best fix is to disable module unloading, especially after reading the rmmod man page (some kernels even have unloading disabled completely). Module unloading is not needed to shutdown the computer and actually it even increases the time it takes to shutdown. It's also not needed for saving audio settings, since unloading happens after that is done. If it is decided to leave in the option to unload modules then it will be necessary to implement Pavel's patch however as the current unloading is broken.
Hi there, I was having similar problems with alsa. Kernel is vanilla-sources-2.6.29.5 patched with the real time patch: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ When the system was going down the alsasound script hangs on "Unloading Alsa modules". Same when doing "/etc/init.d/alsasoun stop". I issue this manually, and in another terminal I issue: "modprobe -r snd-hda-intel". Then, alsasound script exits complaining on unexisting modules. For debug purposes I enabled more verbose debug (all posible) on alsa. I've donde the same without any modules message. Then, I was sure that it was a kernel issue, because prior this kernel I had no problems. So I tried removing options until it works fine for now and I removed this ones: < > HR-timer backend support < > RTC Timer support [ ] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver And the only features enabled on HDA are the ones that correspond to my chipset, and the generic parser (this is needed, module loading will complaint if not): [*] Enable generic HD-audio codec parser [*] Build NVIDIA HDMI HD-audio codec support With that and this: <M> Sequencer support <M> Sequencer dummy client <M> OSS Mixer API <M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API [*] OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system [*] OSS Sequencer API But, this is with vanilla-sources, not with gentoo-sources. I repeat that prior using vanilla-sources I was using gentoo-sources-2.6.25 without this problem. Hope it helps, Regards
Sorry for my incompleteness. I forgot to mention an important thing. When I said that I issued "modprobe -r snd-hda-intel", I really was able to unload the modules. That is not explicity said in my comment, just in case of a doubt I want it to specify that. And, that's why alsasound scripts complain about modules that want to remove that there aren't there. Regards,
All these problems ended for me when I upsated to alsa-*-1.0.19 :-/
Is anyone still having issues with this? If not, I'd say it might be time to close this one. This has long since stopped being an issue for me, and last I read, it's pretty much that way for everyone else who signed on to this bug. Maybe it's time to close this one as fixed.

YAY!
i ran into the same 'snd-hda-intel not unloading when stopping alsasound' problem. running 2.6.30-tuxonice-r4 and alsa-* 1.17. upgrading to alsa-* 1.19 seems to have implemented a new strategy for simply not unloading the modules at all when stopping alsasound. i guess that does fix the problem in a way.
