[PATCH] wil6210: fix break that is never reached because of zero'ing of a retry counter

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is a check on the retry counter invalid_buf_id_retry that is always
false because invalid_buf_id_retry is initialized to zero on each iteration
of a while-loop.  Fix this by initializing the retry counter before the
while-loop starts.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
Fixes: b4a967b7d0f5 ("wil6210: reset buff id in status message after completion")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Note: not tested, so I'm not sure if the loop retry threshold is high enough
