This patch makes acpi_load_table() available for use by removing it from the #ifdef ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE. It also adds a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" - acpi_unload_table_id(). The implementation of this new routine was almost a direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given type. The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables. Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported (since the driver can be a loadable module): acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle acpi_ns_get_next_node Signed-off-by: Aaron Young <ayoung@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/namespace/nsutils.c | 4 ++ drivers/acpi/namespace/nswalk.c | 2 + drivers/acpi/tables/tbxface.c | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- include/acpi/acpixf.h | 5 +-- 4 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/namespace/nsutils.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/acpi/namespace/nsutils.c 2006-10-23 08:48:15.836279420 -0500 +++ linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/namespace/nsutils.c 2006-10-23 09:17:33.930473274 -0500 @@ -701,6 +701,8 @@ struct acpi_namespace_node *acpi_ns_map_ return (ACPI_CAST_PTR(struct acpi_namespace_node, handle)); } +ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node) + /******************************************************************************* * * FUNCTION: acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle @@ -737,6 +739,8 @@ acpi_handle acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_han ------------------------------------------------------*/ } +ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle) + /******************************************************************************* * * FUNCTION: acpi_ns_terminate Index: linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/namespace/nswalk.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/acpi/namespace/nswalk.c 2006-10-23 08:48:15.836279420 -0500 +++ linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/namespace/nswalk.c 2006-10-23 09:17:33.930473274 -0500 @@ -119,6 +119,8 @@ struct acpi_namespace_node *acpi_ns_get_ return (NULL); } +ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_ns_get_next_node) + /******************************************************************************* * * FUNCTION: acpi_ns_walk_namespace Index: linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/tables/tbxface.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/acpi/tables/tbxface.c 2006-10-23 08:48:15.856281906 -0500 +++ linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/tables/tbxface.c 2006-10-23 09:17:33.934473770 -0500 @@ -123,7 +123,6 @@ acpi_status acpi_load_tables(void) ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_load_tables) -#ifdef ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE /******************************************************************************* * * FUNCTION: acpi_load_table @@ -221,6 +220,52 @@ ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_load_table) /******************************************************************************* * + * FUNCTION: acpi_unload_table_id + * + * PARAMETERS: table_type - Type of table to be unloaded + * id - Owner ID of the table to be removed. + * + * RETURN: Status + * + * DESCRIPTION: This routine is used to force the unload of a table (by id) + * + ******************************************************************************/ +acpi_status acpi_unload_table_id(acpi_table_type table_type, acpi_owner_id id) +{ + struct acpi_table_desc *table_desc; + + ACPI_FUNCTION_TRACE(acpi_unload_table); + + /* Parameter validation */ + if (table_type > ACPI_TABLE_ID_MAX) + return_ACPI_STATUS(AE_BAD_PARAMETER); + + /* Find table from the requested type list */ + table_desc = acpi_gbl_table_lists[table_type].next; + while (table_desc && table_desc->owner_id != id) + table_desc = table_desc->next; + + if (!table_desc) + return_ACPI_STATUS(AE_NOT_EXIST); + + /* + * Delete all namespace objects owned by this table.
