Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: make acpi_load_table() return table index
Hi Nikolaus,
For unloading an ACPI table, it is necessary to provide the index of the table.
The method intended for dynamically loading or hotplug addition of
tables, acpi_load_table(), should provide this information via an
optional pointer to the loaded table index.
We'll take this patch for ACPICA upstream
Erik,
Hi Andy,
how about to have also counterpart to acpi_load_table() which will do what it's
done now in acpi_configfs.c via acpi_tb_*() API?
I should have given more details. We decided to add this extra parameter
in AcpiLoadTable and we're going to create an AcpiUnloadTable function
that will take table index to unload the table (basically the
acpi_tb_unload..). Once we do this, you can use table indices with
AcpiUnloadTable and AcpiLoadTable.
that's even better news.
Rafael, shall I prepare anything?
Niko
Erik
Because it's kinda strange to call acpi_load_table*() and acpi_tb_*() in the
same module.
