Subject: [PATCH] media: staging/ipu7: return 0 for IPC messages that expect no response
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 06:47:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811011718.274510-1-wednisegit@gmail.com> (raw)
ipu_buttress_ipc_send_msg() sends a command to the CSE and waits for the
send_complete completion, which the interrupt handler raises once the CSE
has executed the command. When a message does not ask for a response,
that completion is the whole story: the command went through, and the
caller should be told it succeeded.
The no-response path does the opposite. Right after the command completes
successfully it returns -EIO, turning a good send into an error. The IPU6
driver this code was derived from gets it right, since there the
no-response case simply moves on to the next message. This looks like a
slip made when the bulk loop was collapsed into a single-message helper.
Every caller today passes require_resp = true, so nothing is broken in
practice yet, but the return value is wrong and will trip up the first
no-response command that comes along. Return 0 instead.
