Re: [PATCH 3/3] - Add support for acpi_load_table/acpi_unload_table_id

From: John Keller
Date: Thu Nov 30 2006 - 18:04:39 EST



This patch makes acpi_load_table() available
for use by removing it from the #ifdef ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.

It also adds a new routine used to unload an ACPI table
of a given type and "id" - acpi_unload_table_id().
The implementation of this new routine was almost a direct
copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference
being that it only removes a specific table id instead of
ALL tables of a given type.
The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these
interfaces to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables.

Andrew,
Can you take this update and replace the current version in
your -mm tree:
add-support-for-acpi_load_table-acpi_unload_table_id.patch

Len,
What do we need to do to resolve any licensing issues related to
these changes?

Thanks.


Resend #2
Code has been improved to no longer use ACPI "internal" routines
(such as acpi_ns_get_next_node()). To this end, a new public interface
to obtain the owner_id for a handle was added (acpi_get_id()). It is
very similar to existing routine acpi_get_type().

Resend #1
Original send of this patch was outdated and did not have
acpi_ut_acquire_mutex() and acpi_ut_release_mutex() calls
in acpi_unload_table_id().
