For gapless playback call to snd_compr_drain_notify() after
partial drain should put the state to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING
rather than SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP as the driver is ready to
process the buffers for new track.

With existing code, if we are playing 3 tracks in gapless, after
partial drain finished on previous track 1 the state is set to
SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP which is then moved to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED
after data write. With this state calls to snd_compr_next_track() and
few other calls will fail as they expect the state to be in
SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING.

Here is the sequence of events and state transitions:

1. set_params (Track 1), state =  SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP
2. set_metadata (Track 1), no state change, state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP
3. fill and trigger start (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING
4. set_next_track (Track 2), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING
5. partial_drain (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP
6  snd_compr_drain_notify (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP
7. fill data (Track 2), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED
8. set_metadata (Track 3), no state change, state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED
9. set_next_track (Track 3), !! FAILURE as state != SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING

I wonder who did gapless work on upstream so far?

The snd_compr_drain_notify() is called only from snd_compr_stop(). Something 
is missing in this sequence?

snd_compr_drain_notify() can also be called by drivers to notify when 
partial drain is finished. In this case its called from qcom compress 
driver.

It is supposed to be invoked by driver when partial drain is complete..
both intel and sprd driver are calling this. snd_compr_stop is stop
while draining case so legit

Somehow not sure how it got missed earlier, but this seem a decent fix
but we still need to check all the states here..

The gapless playback only deals with transitions between two tracks of 
identical format. I am not sure what the reference to 3 tracks means.

IIRC the only users of gapless playback are Android platforms, where the 
HAL deals with the transitions. I am not aware of any plain vanilla 
Linux solution.

Not sure I follow this statement, could you elaborate a bit?
snd_compr_stop putting the state to RUNNING seems fundamentally
broken to me, the whole point of snd_compr_stop is to take the
state out of RUNNING.

Yes. I agree. It seems that the acknowledge for the partial drain should be 
handled differently.

Yeah sorry I overlooked that case and was thinking of it being invoked
from driver!

Yes this would make the snd_compr_stop() behave incorrectly.. so this
cant be done as proposed.

But we still need to set the draining stream state properly and I am
thinking below now:

I see a race possibility when the last track is too small and the driver 
signals the end-of-track twice. In this case the partial drain should not end 
with the running state. It would be probably better to separate partial / last 
track acknowledgements.

This is looking better, I think you probably need to make the
switch to RUNNING conditional on snd_compress_wait_for_drain
succeeding, as the state should remain in DRAINING if we are
interrupted or some such.

I also have a slight concern that since
snd_compress_wait_for_drain, releases the lock the set_next_track
could come in before the state is moved to RUNNING, but I guess
from user-spaces perspective that is the same as it coming in
whilst the state is still DRAINING, so should be handled fine?

Thanks,
Charles

I completely agree that we should have separate acknowledgements here,
and going to rethink all state transitions for gapless here..

Thanks for the help

Hmmm, only interrupt would be terminate, so yes we should not do running
conditionally here..

yeah userspace is blocked on this call, till signalling for partial
drain is done. So it should work. But next_track 'should' be signalled
before this, but yes we need to recheck this logic here and ensure no
gaps are left in gapless :-)
