  • 1.  [PATCH] virtio-sound: use 'data buffer' instead of 'buffer'

    Posted 11-30-2023 10:59
    This commit replaces the wording 'buffer' with 'data buffer' when
    referring to the payload of PCM messages. The virtio specification
    defines the word buffer as a set of zero or more device-readable
    physically-contiguous elements followed by zero or more
    physically-contiguous device-writable elements. In the virtio-sound
    section, the word is used only for the data or payload in a request. In
    this case, the data buffer is sent together with a header, i.e.,
    device-readable, and the status, i.e., device-writable. To not get
    confused with the main definition, this commit replaces those usages
    with the wording 'data buffer'.

    Hello Anton,

    I apologize for asking again, but could you please add your R-b to
    this patch? you have already reviewed the RFC.

    Thanks.
