Re: [PATCH v2 04/12] staging: media: rkvdec: Block start streaming until both queues run

[Andrzej Pietrasiewicz]

Hi Sebastian,

Ezequiel and Dan have had some comments, they need addressing.

If, as a result, the logic of this patch remains in place then:

if you convert to a macro in PATCH 03/12 then the conditions can be rewritten as

!rkvdec_queue_busy(.....)

instead of comparing to 0. (actually, this can be done regardless, but makes 
more sense if the result of rkvdec_queue_busy() is boolean which it is when
it becomes a macro as suggested)

Then you can optionally follow De Morgan's law:

if (!(rkvdec_queue_busy() && rkvdec_queue_busy()))
	return -EAGAIN;

and you get one negation less.

Regards,

Andrzej
