In hotplug logic, it always indicates non-specific failure to platform through _OST when handing acpi hot-remove event failed. Then platform terminates the hot-remove process but it can not identify the reason. Base on current hot-remove code, there have two situations that it returns busy: - OSPM try to offline an individual device, but the device offline function returns busy. - When the ejection event is applied to an "not offlined yet" container. OSPM send kobject change event to userspace and returns busy. Both of them will returns -EBUSY to acpi device hotplug function then hotplug function indicates non-specific failure to platform just like any other error, e.g. -ENODEV or -EIO. The benefit to platform for identifying the OS busy state is that platform can be applied different approach to handle the busy but not just terminate the hot-remove process by unknown reason. For example, platform can wait for a while then triggers hot-remove again. This RFC patch adds one more parameter to the handler function of acpi generic hotplug event to give the function a chance to propose the return code of _OST. In this case, it sets ost return code to ACPI_OST_SC_DEVICE_BUSY when the acpi hot remove function returns -EBUSY. v4: Use switch-case statements to simplify code. (Andy Shevchenko, Rafael J. Wysocki) v3: Removed redundant 'else' in acpi_ost_status_code(). (Andy Shevchenko) v2: Do not overwrite ost code in acpi_generic_hotplug_event(). Move the "error code to ost code" logic to a help function. (Andy Shevchenko) Cc: "Rafael J.
