[PATCH v2] ACPI / battery: Safe unregistering of hooks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A hooking API was implemented for 4.17 in fa93854f7a7ed63d followed by
hooks for Thinkpad laptops in 2801b9683f740012. The Thinkpad drivers
did not support the Thinkpad 13 and the hooking API crashes on
unsupported batteries by altering a list of hooks during unsafe
iteration. Thus, Thinkpad 13 laptops could no longer boot.

Additionally, a lock was kept in place and debugging information was
printed out of order.
