Subject: idle_notifier_unregister()
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:18:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C5632B.7030402@fujitsu-siemens.com> (raw)

Hello Thomas, hello Ingo,

Your commit a72368dd37f6ae333fbab03598e46a995d91decc "x86: remove dead
code and exports" removes the function idle_notifier_unregister().
Please restore this function. I have a driver here which wouldn't unload
cleanly if this function is unavailable.

What's the point in removing the idle_notifier_unregister() function
while keeping idle_notifier_register()? Is the idle_notifier API a
one-way API by design?

Martin
