[patch 2.6.25-rc2-git] crosslink ACPI and "real" device nodes

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

 



Add cross-links between ACPI device and "real" devices in sysfs,
exposing otherwise-hidden interrelationships between the various
device nodes for ACPI stuff.  As a representative example, one
hardware device is exposed as two logical devices (PNP and ACPI):

  .../pnp0/00:06/
  .../LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/device:15/PNP0B00:00/

The PNP device gets a "firmware_node" link pointing to the ACPI device,
and is what a Linux device driver binds to.  The ACPI device has instead
a "physical_node" link pointing back to the PNP device.  Other firmware
frameworks, like OpenFirmware, could do the same thing to couple their
firmware tables to the rest of the system.

(Based on a patch from Zhang Rui.  This version is modified to not
depend on the patch makig ACPI initialize driver model wakeup flags.)

Another extract from the "teach ACPI how to use driver model wakeup
flags" patch series.  The linkage helps sort out confusion about which
devices are wakeup-capable, among other things, and can help when
interpreting /proc/acpi/wakeup contents.
