[PATCH 2.6.18-rc1-mm2 2/6] ieee1394: sbp2: discard return value of sbp2_link_orb_command

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

 



Since sbp2 is at the moment unable to do anything with the return value
of sbp2_link_orb_command, just discard it.

TODO:
Alas sbp2 initiates 1394 write requests to the target's ORB_POINTER and
DOORBELL registers from atomic context.  These write transactions should
be moved into non-atomic context, i.e. a kthread or workqueue.  That way
typical failures of sbp2util_node_write_no_wait can be avoided in the
first place, and there are better possibilities to recover from
remaining failures.
