Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Account for uncorrectable failures in probing
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 11:49:08 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1510246939.git.mario.limonciello@dell.com> (raw)
Pali raised some concerns around corner case scenarios that probing
may fail on dell-wmi-descriptor causing dell-wmi and dell-smbios-wmi
to be stuck in infinite deferred probing loops.
This patch series accounts for that corner case.
changes from v1 to v2:
- Add Reviewed by from Pali for patch 1
- Move wmi_has_guid check into dell-wmi-descriptor.c instead of
dependent drivers.
Mario Limonciello (2):
platform/x86: dell-wmi-descriptor: check if memory was allocated
platform/x86: dell-*wmi*: Relay failed initial probe to dependent
drivers
