Hi Len, I hope this isn't too late for the .31 merge window. If so, no big deal; this patchset isn't urgent, it's just a nice cleanup that was inspired from investigating the recent bug in acpi_pci_bind() (fixed by dacd254). This patch series eliminates static boot-time binding of ACPI and PCI devices, and introduces an API to perform this lookup during runtime. This change has the following advantages: - eliminates struct acpi_device vs struct pci_dev lifetime issues - lays groundwork for eliminating .bind/.unbind from acpi_device_ops - lays more groundwork for eliminating .start from acpi_device_ops and thus simplifying ACPI drivers - whacks out a lot of code This patchset is based on lenb/test (66c74fa1d4), and has been boot tested on ia64 and x86. I also performed physical PCI hotplug tests using acpiphp on ia64. I do not have an acpiphp-capable x86 platform. I didn't test the changes in the video driver either, as I don't have the hardware. v1 -> v2 - rearrange series into a more logical order - much simpler acpi_is_root_bridge() implementation - no longer export acpi_pci_find_root() - no longer leak memory in acpi_get_pci_dev() - no longer leak references in acpi_pci_unbind/acpi_pci_bind - convert video driver to use acpi_get_pci_dev() - kill off acpi_get_physical_pci_device() - incorporate Bjorn's other comments. :) --- Alex Chiang (11): ACPI: kill acpi_get_physical_pci_device() ACPI: video: convert to acpi_get_pci_dev ACPI: kill acpi_get_pci_id PCI Hotplug: acpiphp: convert to acpi_get_pci_dev ACPI: acpi_pci_unbind should clean up properly after acpi_pci_bind ACPI: simplify acpi_pci_irq_del_prt() API ACPI: simplify acpi_pci_irq_add_prt() API ACPI: eviscerate pci_bind.c ACPI: Introduce acpi_get_pci_dev() ACPI: Introduce acpi_is_root_bridge() ACPI: make acpi_pci_bind() static drivers/acpi/glue.c | 40 ----- drivers/acpi/pci_bind.c | 315 +++++------------------------------- drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c | 17 +- drivers/acpi/pci_root.c | 112 ++++++++++++- drivers/acpi/video.c | 6 - drivers/acpi/video_detect.c | 9 + drivers/pci/hotplug/acpi_pcihp.c | 40 ----- drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c | 27 +-- include/acpi/acpi_bus.h | 2 include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h | 10 - include/linux/pci_hotplug.h | 1 11 files changed, 179 insertions(+), 400 deletions(-) -- 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
