Besides build in kernel, the design also cater for build as kernel driver module. This patchset introduce a new API (request_firmware_abort()) at firmware_class so that the driver module could be unloaded by calling the API to properly stop user helper interface and release the device. Thanks. --- changelog v2: [PATCH 1/3] * use fw_lookup_buf() instead of __fw_lookup_buf() function call * move the fw_lookup_buf() function out of the CONFIG_PM_SLEEP block [PATCH 2/3] * no change [PATCH 3/3] * no change Kweh, Hock Leong (3): firmware loader: Introduce new API - request_firmware_abort() firmware loader: fix hung task warning dump efi: Capsule update with user helper interface drivers/base/firmware_class.c | 56 ++++-- drivers/firmware/efi/Kconfig | 13 ++ drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile | 1 + drivers/firmware/efi/efi-capsule-user-helper.c | 246 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/firmware.h | 4 + 5 files changed, 306 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/firmware/efi/efi-capsule-user-helper.c -- 1.7.9.5 -- 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/
