[RFC PATCH 0/3] In non-blocking mode return EAGAIN in hwseek

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

 



This patch series resolves a problem with S_HW_FREQ_SEEK when called in
non-blocking mode. Currently this would actually block during the seek.

This is not a good idea. This patch changes the spec and the drivers to
return -EAGAIN when called in non-blocking mode.

In the future actual support for non-blocking mode might be added to
selected drivers, but that will require a new event (SEEK_READY or something
like that), and I am not convinced it is worth the effort anyway.

Regards,

	Hans
