Regards -- Andy ---------------------------------------- 11 November 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021111. 0) ACPI Specification 2.0B is released and is now available at: http://www.acpi.info/index.html 1) Linux Module loading/unloading fixes (John Cagle) Other minor fixes 2) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Implemented support for the ACPI 2.0 SMBus Operation Regions. This includes the early detection and handoff of the request to the SMBus region handler (avoiding all of the complex field support code), and support for the bidirectional return packet from an SMBus write operation. This paves the way for the development of SMBus drivers in each host operating system. Fixed a problem where the semaphore WAIT_FOREVER constant was defined as 32 bits, but must be 16 bits according to the ACPI specification. This had the side effect of causing ASL Mutex/Event timeouts even though the ASL code requested a wait forever. Changed all internal references to the ACPI timeout parameter to 16 bits to prevent future problems. Changed the name of WAIT_FOREVER to ACPI_WAIT_FOREVER. ----------------------------- Andrew Grover Intel Labs / Mobile Architecture andrew.grover@intel.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
