Subject: ACPI: Check whether cooling device exists before unregistering it >From : Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> OS should check whether the cooling device exists before it is unregistered. If it doesn't exists, it is unnecessary to remove the sysfs link and call the function of thermal_cooling_device_unregister. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9982 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by : Dhaval Giani <dhaval@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/processor_core.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/processor_core.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/acpi/processor_core.c +++ linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/processor_core.c @@ -809,10 +809,12 @@ static int acpi_processor_remove(struct acpi_processor_remove_fs(device); - sysfs_remove_link(&device->dev.kobj, "thermal_cooling"); - sysfs_remove_link(&pr->cdev->device.kobj, "device"); - thermal_cooling_device_unregister(pr->cdev); - pr->cdev = NULL; + if (pr->cdev) { + sysfs_remove_link(&device->dev.kobj, "thermal_cooling"); + sysfs_remove_link(&pr->cdev->device.kobj, "device"); + thermal_cooling_device_unregister(pr->cdev); + pr->cdev = NULL; + } processors[pr->id] = 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
