Or am I missing something... The slave handler does not touch these fields, so that should be fine. The only way I can think that we could get in this state is if we had some sort of error interrupt fire after we handled a STOP or previous error; this should not happen, but I think it is better to be safe than sorry. Nevertheless, I do not think it is necessary to do more than what I have already done because it would mean the bus is in a pretty bad state anyway. Maybe I should just drop the locks here. If you disagree, could you elaborate on what you meant by putting cmd_err in a separate field? Did you just mean having one for xfer and one for everything else (like resets)? > >> + /* If nothing went wrong, return number of messages transferred. */ >> + if (ret >= 0) >> + return bus->msgs_index + 1; >> + else >> + return ret; >> +} >> + -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
