From b3fab427739c76871c96834e72c369dd0e502d4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 14:08:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: allow buffer resize if previous resize failed When a comedi device is successfully attached, those subdevices that support asynchronous commands will have had buffers allocated successfully. It is possible to resize the buffers afterwards, but if the resize fails the subdevice is left with no buffer (`s->async->prealloc_buf == NULL`). Currently, this also causes any subsequent attempts to resize the buffer to fail with an error, which seems like a bad idea. Remove the check in `resize_async_buffer()` that causes the resize to fail if the subdevice currently has no buffer (presumably due to the failure of a previous resize attempt). Callers of `resize_async_buffer()` have already checked that the subdevice is allowed to have a buffer.
