From 92368890d551794ee8d7e90477d8498bb7f82a9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 21:42:14 +0200 Subject: firewire: core: improve check for local node My recently added test for a device being local in fw-cdev.c got it slightly wrong: Comparisons of node IDs are only valid if the generation is current, which I forgot to check. Normally, serialization by card->lock takes care of this, but a device in FW_DEVICE_GONE state will necessarily have a wrong generation and invalid node_id. The "is it local?" check is made 100% correct and simpler now by means of a struct fw_device flag which is set at fw_device creation. Besides the fw-cdev site which was to be fixed, there is another site which can make use of the new flag, and an RFC-2734 driver will benefit from it too.
