Subject: rpc : fix misleading error log (llama/21184)
X-Git-Tag: upstream/1.9.2~658
X-Git-Url: https://git.djapps.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40ddc5a5b911851f4867207c80d8db2eb238388f;p=pkg%2Fggml%2Fsources%2Fwhisper.cpp

rpc : fix misleading error log (llama/21184)

When RPC is running with a remote backend which doesn't have init_tensor
function (like CPU and Metal), the server log gets full with error
messages saying that init_tensor is being called with null buffer which
is incorrect. This patch fixes this.
