From 86e437f077c68112edcb6854ec036ed7e3f9a7f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Yakui Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:23:13 +0800 Subject: ACPI: Add the reference count to avoid unloading ACPI video bus twice Sometimes both acpi video and i915 driver are compiled as modules. And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers. The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver. If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered. Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice. The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus. If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again. And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count will be set to zero. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Acked-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/video.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/acpi') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/video.c b/drivers/acpi/video.c index 1bdfb37377e3..a63566ba230b 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/video.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/video.c @@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); static int brightness_switch_enabled = 1; module_param(brightness_switch_enabled, bool, 0644); +static int register_count = 0; static int acpi_video_bus_add(struct acpi_device *device); static int acpi_video_bus_remove(struct acpi_device *device, int type); static int acpi_video_resume(struct acpi_device *device); @@ -2318,6 +2319,13 @@ static int __init intel_opregion_present(void) int acpi_video_register(void) { int result = 0; + if (register_count) { + /* + * if the function of acpi_video_register is already called, + * don't register the acpi_vide_bus again and return no error. + */ + return 0; + } acpi_video_dir = proc_mkdir(ACPI_VIDEO_CLASS, acpi_root_dir); if (!acpi_video_dir) @@ -2329,10 +2337,35 @@ int acpi_video_register(void) return -ENODEV; } + /* + * When the acpi_video_bus is loaded successfully, increase + * the counter reference. + */ + register_count = 1; + return 0; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_video_register); +void acpi_video_unregister(void) +{ + if (!register_count) { + /* + * If the acpi video bus is already unloaded, don't + * unload it again and return directly. + */ + return; + } + acpi_bus_unregister_driver(&acpi_video_bus); + + remove_proc_entry(ACPI_VIDEO_CLASS, acpi_root_dir); + + register_count = 0; + + return; +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_video_unregister); + /* * This is kind of nasty.
