I don't see anything altering list state in the body of this loop. Where's list locking? Also, once input core locking is in place handler_>event will be called under a spinlock with interrupts off. Can acpi_video_device_set_state be used in this case? Below is a small cleanup patch you may want to fold into yours. But I guess more important question if this is a good solution overall. My box already generates video bus events when I close and open the lid so maybe video.c should just call acpi_video__device_set_state() from acpi_video_bus_notify()? -- Dmitry Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/video.c | 24 +++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) Index: work/drivers/acpi/video.c =================================================================== --- work.orig/drivers/acpi/video.c +++ work/drivers/acpi/video.c @@ -1737,6 +1737,7 @@ static int lid_connect(struct input_hand const struct input_device_id *id) { struct acpi_video_bus *video = handler->private; + struct input_handle *lid_handle; int r; if (dev->id.product != ACPI_BUTTON_TYPE_LID || @@ -1748,18 +1749,22 @@ static int lid_connect(struct input_hand return -ENODEV; } - video->lid_handle = kzalloc(sizeof(struct input_handle), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!video->lid_handle) + lid_handle = kzalloc(sizeof(struct input_handle), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!lid_handle) return -ENOMEM; - video->lid_handle->dev = dev; - video->lid_handle->handler = handler; - video->lid_handle->private = video; - r = input_register_handle(video->lid_handle); + video->lid_handle = lid_handle; + + lid_handle->dev = dev; + lid_handle->handler = handler; + lid_handle->name = "acpi-video"; + lid_handle->private = video; + + r = input_register_handle(lid_handle); if (r) goto err; - r = input_open_device(video->lid_handle); + r = input_open_device(lid_handle); if (r) goto err_unregister; @@ -1777,9 +1782,10 @@ err: static void lid_disconnect(struct input_handle *handle) { struct acpi_video_bus *video = handle->private; - input_unregister_handle(handle); + input_close_device(handle); - kfree(video->lid_handle); + input_unregister_handle(handle); + kfree(handle); video->lid_handle = NULL; } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
