No. Read it like this: If there isn't enough space for 'len' bytes, then reduce 'len' to the number of bytes available. > } > > if (len <= 0) > return 0; > > Also note: len cannot be less than 0 since it's an u8. Yes. This function seems to be overcautious in other places, too. These two checks can probably get removed: if (sec->tsfeedp >= DMX_MAX_SECFEED_SIZE) return 0; if (limit > DMX_MAX_SECFEED_SIZE) return -1; /* internal error should never happen */ Regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
