[ Upstream commit 3aa1e96a2b95e2ece198f8dd01e96818971b84df ] A BE connected to more than one FE, e.g. in a mixer case, can go through the following transitions. play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is STOP (see note [1] below) release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP play FE1 -> BE state is START play FE2 -> BE state is START (no change) pause FE1 -> BE state is START (no change) pause FE2 -> BE state is PAUSED release FE1 -> BE state is START release FE2 -> BE state is START (no change) stop FE1 -> BE state is START (no change) stop FE2 -> BE state is STOP The existing code for PAUSE_RELEASE only allows for the case where the BE is paused, which clearly would not work in the sequences above. Extend the allowed states to restart the BE when PAUSE_RELEASE is received, and increase the refcount if the BE is already in START. [1] the existing logic does not move the BE state back to PAUSED when the FE2 is stopped. This patch does not change the logic; it would be painful to keep a history of changes on the FE side, the state machine is already rather complicated with transitions based on the last BE state and the trigger type.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
