- acpi_os_wait_semaphore-dont-complain-about-timeout.patch removed from -mm tree

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

 



The patch titled

     acpi_os_wait_semaphore(): don't complain about timeout

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     acpi_os_wait_semaphore-dont-complain-about-timeout.patch

This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.


From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@xxxxxx>

The ASL Acquire operator (17.5.1 in ACPI 3.0 spec) is allowed to time out
and return True without acquiring the semaphore.  There's no indication in
the spec that this is an actual error, so this message should be
debug-only, as the message for successful acquisition is.

This used to be an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT, but it was mis-classified as
ACPI_DB_ERROR rather than ACPI_DB_MUTEX, so it got swept up in Thomas'
recent patch to enable ACPI error messages even without CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.
