From 962ce8ca0604af0c3c5609f7613d4ec5fcfac623 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 01:24:31 +0800 Subject: ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink The previous events patch added a netlink event for every user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface. However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events, and they already report their events via the input layer. Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(), which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt events via netlink. This allows the input-like events to opt-out of generating netlink events. In summary: events that are sent via netlink: ac/battery/sbs thermal processor thinkpad_acpi dock/bay events that are sent via input layer: button video hotkey thinkpad_acpi hotkey asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey sonypi/sonylaptop Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/pci/hotplug') diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.c b/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.c index 70db38c0ced9..360902476bad 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.c +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.c @@ -268,6 +268,9 @@ static void ibm_handle_events(acpi_handle handle, u32 event, void *context) if (subevent == 0x80) { dbg("%s: generationg bus event\n", __FUNCTION__); acpi_bus_generate_event(note->device, note->event, detail); + acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(note->device->pnp.device_class, + note->device->dev.bus_id, + note->event, detail); } else note->event = event; } -- cgit v1.2.2 From 14e04fb34ffa82ee61ae69f98d8fca12d2e8e31c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Brown Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:20:26 -0400 Subject: ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months. Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event() to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.
