2009-08-29ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..hLen Brown1-0/+2
Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ", however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own. Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there. This does not change any actual console output, asside from a whitespace fix. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-02-06netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso1-5/+1
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

2008-04-29acpi: use non-racy method for proc entries creationDenis V. Lunev1-4/+4
Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data be setup before gluing PDE to main tree. Add correct ->owner to proc_fops to fix reading/module unloading race.

2007-08-23ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removalLen Brown1-0/+6
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. Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event. There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-08-23ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlinkZhang Rui1-4/+9
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 <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
