Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] ALSA: compress: Document stream states and fix gapless SM

Srini found issue with gapless implementation which prompted to look deeper
into SM for compressed stream.

So documenting SM was first step, so first two patches add that. Last patch
fixes the issue by keeping track on partial_drain and then moving state to
'running' in snd_compr_drain_notify() for partial_drain case on success.
While at it, noticed snd_compr_drain_notify() is lockless state change, so
fixed that as well.

I have tested this on Dragon board RB3, compressed audio works out of the
box on that platform and Srini will send driver and fcplay patches for
gapless soon.

Changes in v3:
- Add pause->stop->free transition
- Add setup->free transition
- remove running->free as that goes thru stop

Changes in v2:
- Added tested tag by Srini
- Update compress SM with Free state and compr_stop() transitions

So we had some discussions of the stream states, so I thought it is a
good idea to document the state transitions, so add it documentation

Also documented the galpess transitions. Please note that these are not
really stream states, but show how the stream steps in gapless mode

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] ALSA: compress: fix partial_drain completion state

On partial_drain completion we should be in SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING
state, so set that for partially draining streams in
snd_compr_drain_notify() and use a flag for partially draining streams

While at it, add locks for stream state change in
snd_compr_drain_notify() as well.

You have added locking here in snd_compr_drain_notify but....

that can be called from snd_compr_stop here which is already
holding the lock resulting in deadlock.

Thanks Charles, right somehow my testing missed this, have verified that
it is the case.

I will remove the locks here, and we should add a comment to note this..

Thanks
