[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] staging: vt6655: Implement allocation failure handling

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

 



This driver does not handle allocation failure when receiving data very
well. This patchset implements better handling in the case of allocation
failure.

Also do some necessary clean-up to implement this.

v2:
  - squash 3 commits that were doing a single thing
  - add new commit which removes a redundant assignment
  - take device_init_rx_desc() out of unnecessary else condition.
  - remove return statement at the end of void function
  - add a missing rd = rd->next statement in device_rx_srv(): because
    we already drop the current buffer, we should move on to the next
    buffer in the ring where new data will be written to.

Nam Cao (4):
  staging: vt6655: remove redundant if condition
  staging: vt6655: change vnt_receive_frame return type to void
  staging: vt6655: remove redundant assignment
  staging: vt6655: implement allocation failure handling
