Hrm.. this code hurts brain.. I count 3 workqueues, kacpi_notify_wq, kacpid_wq and kacpi_hotplug_wq. And we have: void acpi_os_wait_events_complete(void *context) { flush_workqueue(kacpid_wq); flush_workqueue(kacpi_notify_wq); } So we're calling this from the hotplug queue, and flush the other two acpi wqs? 1) are we sure all this flushing is indeed needed, can't driver .remove methods use cancel_work() instead? 2) ugh.. Yeah, your problem is that you've overloaded this __acpi_os_execute() thing and enqueue work to all 3 workqueues using the very same INIT_WORK() instance. Untangle that mess a bit and use multiple INIT_WORK() stmts. Why do you need 3 queues to run 2 functions? -- 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
