[PATCH 2/8] staging: vchiq_core: Properly log dev_err()
Posted by Umang Jain 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Properly log a dev_err() message when the msgid is not of
VCHIQ_MSG_PADDING type. Drop 'oldmsgid' scoped variable and improve
on the error string as well.

I'm fine with this change, but the behavior looks strange to me.

Either this is a real error, I would expect the function would return
with something like EINVAL here or this should be a warning?

Sorry, no idea what's correct here.

Best regards

indeed, I'll check the code path and see how it is used.

However, I will propose the change (if any) on top of this series/patch. 
Since it would be functional change ... so need to document it 
appropriately.
