From 962ce8ca0604af0c3c5609f7613d4ec5fcfac623 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 01:24:31 +0800 Subject: ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink The previous events patch added a netlink event for every user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface. However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events, and they already report their events via the input layer. Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(), which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt events via netlink. This allows the input-like events to opt-out of generating netlink events. In summary: events that are sent via netlink: ac/battery/sbs thermal processor thinkpad_acpi dock/bay events that are sent via input layer: button video hotkey thinkpad_acpi hotkey asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey sonypi/sonylaptop Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/bus.c | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/acpi/bus.c') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/bus.c b/drivers/acpi/bus.c index 6b2658c9624..e5084ececb6 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/bus.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/bus.c @@ -292,10 +292,6 @@ int acpi_bus_generate_event(struct acpi_device *device, u8 type, int data) if (!device) return -EINVAL; - if (acpi_bus_generate_genetlink_event(device, type, data)) - printk(KERN_WARNING PREFIX - "Failed to generate an ACPI event via genetlink!\n"); - /* drop event on the floor if no one's listening */ if (!event_is_open) return 0; -- cgit v1.2.3
