[PATCH] media: dvb_ca_en50221: bail out of write loop on non-positive fraglen
From: Muhammad Bilal
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 15:23:50 EST
dvb_ca_en50221_io_write() derives fraglen from sl->link_buf_size, a
value negotiated with the CAM in dvb_ca_en50221_link_init() and only
ever clamped on the high end against HOST_LINK_BUF_SIZE. The loop
guards against a negative fraglen (link_buf_size < 2) but not against
fraglen == 0 (link_buf_size == 2 exactly): "fragpos += fraglen" at the
bottom of the loop then adds zero, so fragpos never reaches count and
the write() never returns while a positive count remains to be sent.
Treat a non-positive fraglen the same as a negative one and stop
fragmenting, consistent with how the existing check already handles
link_buf_size < 2.
