Heh, silly me was assumed that your earlier patch fixed all the<br>
codepaths to handle the "holes" made by drmFoldDuplicatedDevices.<br>
Seems like the ones drmFreeDevices and drmGetDevice are still<br>
outstanding, thus the predicament.<br>
<br>
In this case we could do either:<br>
- go with the above making sure drmFoldDuplicatedDevices doesn't create 'holes'<br>
Note: we still want to fix drmFreeDevices to continue (as opposed to<br>
break) when it sees one.<br>
- or, fix drmGetDevice/drmFreeDevices<br>
<br>
In either case we want that as separate patch, bonus points for adding<br>
a inline comment about the behaviour of drmFoldDuplicatedDevices.<br>
<br>
About the core issue a trivial suggestion - s/move target to the first<br>
of local_devices/store target at local_devices[0] for ease to use<br>
below/<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Emil<br>
