If a transmit-in-progress was canceled, then, once the transmit is done, mark it as aborted and refrain from retrying the transmit. To signal this situation the new transmit_in_progress_aborted field is set to true. The old implementation would just set adap->transmitting to NULL and set adap->transmit_in_progress to false, but on the hardware level the transmit was still ongoing. However, the framework would think the transmit was aborted, and if a new transmit was issued, then it could overwrite the HW buffer containing the old transmit with the new transmit, leading to garbled data on the CEC bus.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
