This would be OK. It would not be hard to fix pxa2xx_spi, for example, to reject zero-length transfers in DMA mode, as long as it is acceptable to reject the message in mid-message. If it were necessary to scan a whole message for zero-length transfers and refuse to queue an offending message, then that adds burden to all messages. -- Ned Forrester [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oceanographic Systems Lab 508-289-2226 Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Dept.
