[PATCH] Staging: comedi: add timeouts to while loops in s626.c

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

 



Smatch located a handful of while loops testing readl calls in s626.c.
Since these while loops depend on readl succeeding, it's safer to make
sure they time out eventually.

Ian and/or Hartley, I'd love your comments on this.  It seems to me that
we want these kinds of while loops properly timed out, but I want to make
sure I'm doing everything properly.  First off, s626_debi_transfer() says
directly that it is called from within critical sections, so I assume
that means that the new comedi_timeout() function is no good here, and
s626_send_dac() looked equally suspicious, so I opted for iterative
timeouts.  Is this correct?  Also, for these timeouts, I used a very
conservative 10000 iterations, would it be better to decrease that?
Also, do my error strings appear acceptable?

And finally, are timeouts here even necessary or helpful, or are there
any better ways to do it?

Thanks,
Chase
