[PATCH 06/17] staging: iio: ring_sw: Fix incorrect test on successful read of last value, causes infinite loop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@xxxxxxxxx>

This is a bad one. The test means that almost no reads of the last
value ever succeed!  Result is an infinite loop.

Another one for the 'oops' category.
