[PATCH] strparser: Don't schedule in workqueue in paused state

From: Vakul Garg
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 04:29:17 EST


In function strp_data_ready(), it is useless to call queue_work if
the state of strparser is already paused. The state checking should
be done before calling queue_work. The change reduces the context
switches and improves the ktls-rx throughput by approx 20% (measured
on cortex-a53 based platform).
