[PATCH 07/11] ACPICA: Tables: Add an error message complaining driver bugs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ACPICA commit 68af3c3aa238dd8040e846ac6b4827a016434d8d

During early OS boot stage, drivers that have mapped system memory should
unmap it during the same stage. Linux kernel has an error message
indicating the unbalanced early memory mappings.

This patch back ports such error message into ACPICA for the early table
mappings, so that ACPICA development environment is also aware of this OS
specific requirement and thus is able to ensure the consistent quality
locally. Lv Zheng.
