If write returns zero we currently end up removing the message from the queue. Instead of removing the message, we want to just break out of the loop just like we already do for error codes.When exactly does the only writer (gsmld_output) return zero for non-zero len parameter?I ran into this when testing with the WIP serial core PM runtime changes from Andy Shevchenko earlier. If there are also other cases where we have serial drivers return 0, I don't know about them.Sorry, I don't understand: my gsmld_output() ignores the return value from drivers' write and returns something greater than zero or a negative error. What tree/SHA do you run?Oh right, good catch. I also had my WIP serdev-ngsm patches applied that uses gsm_serdev_output() and returns the bytes written. Andy's patches do not touch n_gsm.c. Hmm sounds like we should also start returning value also from gsmld_output()? Any objections to making that change?No objections here.
OK thanks, I'll post an updated patch. Regards, Tony
