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 --- include/acpi/acpi_bus.h | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/acpi') diff --git a/include/acpi/acpi_bus.h b/include/acpi/acpi_bus.h index 3d0fea235bf3..8203cddeb4cb 100644 --- a/include/acpi/acpi_bus.h +++ b/include/acpi/acpi_bus.h @@ -321,8 +321,7 @@ struct acpi_bus_event { }; extern struct kset acpi_subsys; -extern int acpi_bus_generate_genetlink_event(struct acpi_device *device, - u8 type, int data); +extern int acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(const char*, const char*, u8, int); /* * External Functions */ -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
