From 40fe4f89671fb3c7ded94190fb267402a38b0261 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 04:18:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: speakup_soft: Fix reading of init string softsynth_read() reads a character at a time from the init string; when it finds the null terminator it sets the initialized flag but then repeats the last character. Additionally, if the read() buffer is not big enough for the init string, the next read() will start reading from the beginning again. So the caller may never progress to reading anything else. Replace the simple initialized flag with the current position in the init string, carried over between calls. Switch to reading real data once this reaches the null terminator. (This assumes that the length of the init string can't change, which seems to be the case. Really, the string and position belong together in a per-file private struct.)
