Hi Rafael,
Hi,
We had a user report[1] their nvidia driver failing to load on 3.13
because acpi_os_wait_events_complete is no longer exported. They
believe it was in error and I told them to contact you. Just in case
they don't bother to do that,
Well, they haven't so far. :-)
I thought I'd send you a quick email
about it. The commit in question is:
commit 7b98118aaa5d75644c48f41fc5d0cc181e478383
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

ACPI / hotplug: Consolidate deferred execution of ACPI hotplug routines
and it doesn't mention anything about unexporting that symbol in the changelog.
It doesn't, but removing the export was intentional, because that export
is not needed for any in-the-tree modules any more.
In principle I can add the export back, but this function is supposed to
be an internal ACPI interface and the NVidia driver is abusing it quite
openly, so I'm not sure. I guess I'll just send a patch for broader
discussion.
Thanks,
Rafael
