When calling CEC_RECEIVE do not check if the adapter is configured. Typically CEC_RECEIVE is called after a select() and if that indicates that there are messages in the receive queue, then you should always be able to dequeue a message. The race condition here is that a message has been received and is queued, so select() tells userspace that a message is available. But before the application calls CEC_RECEIVE the adapter is unconfigured (e.g. the HDMI cable is removed). Now select will always report that there is a message, but calling CEC_RECEIVE will always return -ENONET because the adapter is no longer configured and so will never actually dequeue the message. There is really no need for this check, and in fact the ENONET error code was never documented for CEC_RECEIVE. This may have been a left-over of old code that was never updated.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
