I have patch set for this issue filed at
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3851#c28 .

The first patch is from you.

I think that is the right solution, but the patch itself needs wider test, and solve
any possible regression.


Thanks
Luming

* [PATCH] Change spinlock mutex to semaphor in ec.c

Hi all --

Attached is a patch against the 2.6.10 kernel, to convert the mutexing 
in the embdedded controller driver from a spinlock to a semaphore. The 
rationale behind this is to permit sleeping inside the acpi_ec_wait() 
polling routine.

The way things are done at the moment, the pause between each poll of 
the EC is done using udelay(). Unfortunately, a typical SMBus access via 
the EC takes around 3ms, during which interrupts cannot be serviced. In 
my smart battery driver, each read of the battery status takes 5 SMBus 
transactions, so we have a total 15ms of interrupt deadtime. Considering 
that typical monitoring tools (e.g., gkrellm, wmacpi) will read the 
battery every few seconds, we can see that we are almost certain to 
start losing interrupts. And we do; using my most recent version of the 
smart battery driver, I get lost keystrokes all over the place.

This patch changes the spinlock mutexes into semaphores, which in turn 
allows msleep() calls to replace the udelay() calls in acpi_ec_wait. 
I've found that this seems to work great; no more lost keystrokes (or at 
least, a reduction to the point where I can't distinguish them from my 
own bad typing), and my system hasn't exploded yet.

I'll be including this patch when I release the new DSDT stuff for smart 
batteries (should be ready by the weekend, just doing final testing); 
but I'd appreciate some input as to whether this patch is OK, or whether 
I've done a Very Bad Thing.

cheers,

Rich
