[PATCH] ALSA: compress: Make sure we trigger STOP before closing the stream.

[PATCH] ALSA: compress: Make sure we trigger STOP before closing the stream.

[Liam Girdwood]

Currently we assume that userspace will shut down the compressed stream
correctly. However, if userspcae dies (e.g. cplay & ctrl-C) we dont
stop the stream before freeing it.

This now checks that the stream is stopped before freeing.

[PATCH] ALSA: compress: Fix compress device unregister.

[Liam Girdwood]

snd_unregister_device() should return the device type and not stream
direction.

when usermode dies the free will get invoked as we have below. The free is a
valid trigger from any state. So shouldnt the DSP then STOP the DMAs and free
the streams.
Given that most of the usage is a DSP then IMO it might make send to tell DSP
that stop and cleanup rather than saying stop and cleanup?

This means that the compressed stream ops don't follow the PCM ops wrt
trigger() sequencing (i.e. we have to add extra logic in free to deal
with this difference).

I think it would be better to follow the PCM operations use case here as
it simplifies the driver code and stops people making the false
assumption that trigger() works the same way throughout ALSA ?

I applied this now with these tags, but a pull request to Linus will
be postponed until the next week since I've been traveling now.

Well, the trigger of compress API has a few more jobs than PCM,
and it's exactly what should be fixed (e.g. the proper handling of
drain).  We need a bit more consensus over that.

So, I didn't apply this patch yet.  If Vinod is happy with this (even
as a temporary solution), let me know.

Drain handling would be different, I am working on taht way, havent been able to
get the time it needs...

my point was since we have DSPs we can let DSP internally treat free in not
stopped cases as goto stop and then free. We do this way in our DSPs and save us
a cmd to be sent. Above way though fine will just add that cmd.

The patch is okay but only argument i had was that we can save one cmd since we
have a DSP. Am okay if we have this too..

Without this patch we have the two different sequences for shutdown
depending on whether userspace dies or not. i.e.

1) Normal: trigger(start) -> play -> trigger(stop) -> close()

2) ctrl-C: trigger(start) -> play -> ctrl-C -> close() 

So we miss out the trigger(STOP) and close the device with the stream
still in a trigger running state.
