Hi, I currently trying to fix a bug on the Eeepc 1000H with eeepc-wmi. I got an acpi notify handler. The notify is triggered when I call WMBC(). In this notify handler, I must re-call WMBC (with some other arguments, it won't notify again this time). If I do that, I'll get: [ 176.920391] ACPI Error (dswload-0802): [_T_0] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS [ 176.920416] ACPI Exception: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (20100428/psloop-231) [ 176.920439] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\AMW0.WMBC] (Node f7023b88), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS [ 176.920469] ACPI: Marking method WMBC as Serialized because of AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error Then it'll work. What's the best way to avoid that ? - Is there some way to tell acpica that this method should be serialized ? - Is there some way to finish the execution of the first WMBC call in the notify handler ? - Should I use a work queue, and do what I have to do later (when the previous call is finished) ? - anything else ?
