From: Holger Macht <hmacht@xxxxxxx> Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db (ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again. In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12360 Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/dock.c | 6 +++++- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/dock.c b/drivers/acpi/dock.c index 5b30b8d..afd5db3 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/dock.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/dock.c @@ -855,10 +855,14 @@ fdd_out: static ssize_t show_docked(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) { + struct acpi_device *tmp; + struct dock_station *dock_station = *((struct dock_station **) dev->platform_data); - return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%d\n", dock_present(dock_station)); + if (ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_bus_get_device(dock_station->handle, &tmp))) + return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "1\n"); + return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "0\n"); } static DEVICE_ATTR(docked, S_IRUGO, show_docked, NULL); -- 1.5.6.6 -- 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
