RE: [patch] fix boot with acpi=off

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

 



[adding linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to cc]

acpi=off used to be handled by acpi_bus_register_driver()
for these drivers.

But now acpi_lock_ac_dir() and acpi_lock_battery_dir()
for procfs are inserted before that in the _init functions.

This will be a problem for sbs.c also.

Vladimir,
Any reason that the procfs stuff can't be after the
acpi_bus_register_driver()
calls?  Under what conditions could these lock functions fail?
