From 28a60c456bc52bbe949ad54c6b23917a651fc342 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 17:55:11 +0000 Subject: staging: comedi: check for more errors for zero-length write If the "write" file operation handler, `comedi_write()` is passed 0 for the amount to write, some error conditions are currently skipped and the function just returns 0. Change it to check those error conditions and return an error value if appropriate. The trickiest case is the check for when the previously set up asynchronous command has terminated with an error. In that case, `-EPIPE` is returned (as it is for a write of non-zero length) and the subdevice gets marked as non-busy. A zero-length write that returns 0 has no other effects, in particular, it does not cause the subdevice to be marked as non-busy.
