On error both the request and driver state are unchanged. + +Once a request is queued, then the driver is required to gracefully handle +errors that occur when the request is applied to the hardware. The +exception is the ``EIO`` error which signals a fatal error that requires +the application to stop streaming to reset the hardware state. + +It is not allowed to mix queuing requests with queuing buffers directly +(without a request). ``EBUSY`` will be returned if the first buffer was +queued directly and you next try to queue a request, or vice versa. + +A request must contain at least one buffer, otherwise this ioctl will +return an ``ENOENT`` error. + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. + +EBUSY + The request was already queued or the application queued the first + buffer directly, but later attempted to use a request. It is not permitted + to mix the two APIs. +ENOENT + The request did not contain any buffers. All requests are required + to have at least one buffer. This can also be returned if some required + configuration is missing in the request. +ENOMEM + Out of memory when allocating internal data structures for this + request. +EINVAL + The request has invalid data. +EIO + The hardware is in a bad state. To recover, the application needs to + stop streaming to reset the hardware state and then try to restart + streaming. |
