Hi,
Looking at scull_read() in LDD2 how is semaphore released if the read operation succeeds ? I mean, up is invoked only if error occours so lines after out: label are called. As I understand this example, out: label could be reached if doing multiple scull_read() in a loop, and it would fail if either EOF is reached or no data is available in private_data.
It puzzles me because it is stated on a page before that claimed semaphore must be released as well (that makes sense).
