Hi Tim,
Continuing the discussion on the mailing list ...
Looking at the original patch I don't undestand why you had to duplicate
the bestcomm data structures and functions. The only apparent difference
is that you have a minimal data length of 2 bytes instead of 1. Does
this make any difference as the bd_size will be filled with the correct
length value anyway ?
Moreover what is the difference between bcom_submit_next_buffer() and
bcom_submit_next_buffer2() ? The same with bcom_retrieve_buffer() and
bcom_retrieve_buffer2(). Why are these functions implemented unequally ?
Best regards,
Daniel Schnell.
