Well, the ACPI sysfs conversion is not finished yet and some user space tools still use the ACPI procfs. The schedule of removing ACPI procfs I/F will be changed to Jan 08. I'm about to send a patch to update it. I'm not sure if the button sysfs I/F is already finished. We'd better make a double check. :) Thanks, Rui -----Original Message----- From: linux-acpi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-acpi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Henne Sent: 2007年7月12日 17:41 To: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Brown, Len; linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PATCH][ACPI][BUTTON] remove procfs-interface Arjan van de Ven wrote: > On Thu, 2007-07-12 at 10:58 +0200, Henne wrote: > >> Removes the proc_fs interface from the ACPI button driver. >> Signed-off-by: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> >> --- >> > > you forgot to say why..... > > > First, because refering to /Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt it should be done: >What: /proc/acpi/button >When: August 2007 >Why: /proc/acpi/button has been replaced by events to the input layer > since 2.6.20. >Who: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> Second, refering to /Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt >What: ACPI procfs interface >When: July 2007 >Why: After ACPI sysfs conversion, ACPI attributes will be duplicated > in sysfs and the ACPI procfs interface should be removed. >Who: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> The button driver uses acpi_root_dir which won't be available if acpi is removed this month. That would lead to errors, I think. - 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 - 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
