[patch] isicomm: handle running out of slots
This patch makes it return -ENODEV if we run out of empty slots in the probe function. It's unlikely to happen, but it makes the static checkers happy.

For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this callback, stale data can... 7 May 2010 04:33
