Hi all, I am working on msi-laptop driver for a new msi netbook. The BIOS in this machine modify the hardware block state when press wifi function key. Currently, I am using rfkill interface to provide the Wlan/Bluetooth/Wwan state to userland, but I found rfkill interface have no show() hook like "Device Attribute" interface. The rfkill interface can hook the poll() callback function to call rfkill_set_hw_state for change the rfkill state. But, by the default, this poll interval is 5 seconds: net/rfkill/core.c #define POLL_INTERVAL (5 * HZ) It causes userland application (e.g. OSD) need wait 5 seconds safely time before show up OSD when user press wifi/bluetooth function key. Why rfkill interface doesn't have show() hook can modify the rfkill state immediately, don't need wait 5 seconds? Especially rfkill-input module already deprected and will replace by userland policy code. If have show() hook, then the rfkill state can be update by driver immediately when userland cat rfkill state.
