* Input: libps2 - additional locking for i8042 portsDmitry Torokhov2009-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The serio ports on i8042 are not completely isolated; while we provide enough locking to ensure proper serialization when accessing control and data registers AUX and KBD ports can still have an effect on each other on PS/2 protocol level. The most prominent effect is that issuing a command for the device connected to one port may cause abort of the command currently executing by the device connected to another port. Since i8042 nor serio subsystem are not aware of the details of the PS/2 protocol (length of the commands and their replies and so on) the locking should be done on libps2 level by adding special handling when we see that we are dealing with serio port on i8042.

* Input: i8042 - export i8042_command()Márton Németh2007-10-22
Export the i8042_command() function which manages the mutual exclusion with the help of the i8042_lock spinlock. This allows to access i8042 safely from other parts of the kernel. Signed-off-by: Márton Németh <nm127@freemail.hu> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
