The core compress code already uses the state mechanism (although internally).

Also, it's really unclear if all drivers were checked, if the pause triggers
can be called from the drain state (I know it's another point, but the drivers
should probably offer a flag that they support this). And why to call the
pause release callback when there's no pause (drain + release ioctl instead
drain + pause + release ioctl)? It's a clear midlevel code fault. This
protection should be there not in the hw drivers.

I refer the original patch:
