Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Deliver ACPI events upon subscription and implement multiple readers for /proc/acpi/event
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 00:14:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1138144468337-git-send-email-malattia@linux.it> (raw)

Hello.

This patch series revamps an old submission[1] from Dmitry Torokhov that
adds support for multiple readers on /proc/acpi/event.

Due to the code reorganization happened in the last 1.5 years I
re-implemented it a little differently introducing a subscription
mechanism to receive events (it might be used in different context
also). driver/acpi/event.c uses it to register a new listener for each
process opening the /proc/acpi/event file.

I was also wondering if this could fit the recent discussion on
"Untangling the sleep hotkey mess"[2] to allow event deliver through
the input subsystem (yes, a proposed solution was the other way around
but this might still be a viable implementation).

Dmitry, I don't know how to apply the signed-off thing correctly here,
in the meantime:
