I confirmed that the uevent crash issue was solved. Thinking further, I
wonder if we need to emit KOBJ_ONLINE here. This behavior is asymmetric
since we do not emit KOBJ_OFFLINE when autoeject is set. The definition
of ONLINE/OFFLINE event to an ACPI device object seems also bogus since
there is no online/offline operation to the ACPI device object itself.
Online/offline operation is only possible to actual device, such as
system/cpu/cpu% and system/memory/memory%.
So, I'd suggest the following changes.
- Remove the "uevents" attribute. KOBJ_ONLINE/OFFLINE are not used for
ACPI device objects.
- Make the !autoeject case as an exception for now, and emit
KOBJ_OFFLINE as a way to request off-lining to user. This uevent is
tied with the !autoeject case. We can then revisit if this use-case
needs to be supported going forward. If so, we may want to consider a
different event type.
Thanks,
