From 683058e315f00a216fd6c79df4f63bc9945ca434 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 00:26:16 +0200 Subject: ACPI / hotplug: Use device offline/online for graceful hot-removal Modify the generic ACPI hotplug code to be able to check if devices scheduled for hot-removal may be gracefully removed from the system using the device offline/online mechanism introduced previously. Namely, make acpi_scan_hot_remove() handling device hot-removal call device_offline() for all physical companions of the ACPI device nodes involved in the operation and check the results. If any of the device_offline() calls fails, the function will not progress to the removal phase (which cannot be aborted), unless its (new) force argument is set (in case of a failing offline it will put the devices offlined by it back online). In support of 'forced' device hot-removal, add a new sysfs attribute 'force_remove' that will reside under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
