[2.624-rc1 regression] lost battery information

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have lost battery in 2.6.24-rc1. Without CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS I have 
no /proc/acpi/battery and cannot test netlink interface because right now 
there is no consumer of this.

With CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS I get

{pts/1}% LC_ALL=C ll /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 26 20:18 alarm

{pts/1}% LC_ALL=C ll /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2

present:                 no
present:                 no
present:                 no

BAT2 is correct - it is not present. BAT1 is lying. There is nothing in dmesg. 
battery is loaded (obviously)

As for the case without ACPI_PROCFS ... well, I do not have it in /proc - 
which is expected - but neither I do have it in /sys. And Kconfig help reads

          The deprecated files (and their replacements) include:

          /proc/acpi/sleep (/sys/power/state)
          /proc/acpi/info (/sys/modules/acpi/parameters/acpica_version)
          /proc/acpi/dsdt (/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT)
          /proc/acpi/fadt (/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP)
          /proc/acpi/debug_layer (/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer)
          /proc/acpi/debug_level (/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level)

neither does it mention /proc/acpi/battery not do I actually have any battery 
information in /sys.

Personally I do not like it (if it is intentional). Leaving only netlink 
interface means user has no way to query for actual state. We need something 
running all the time and hope, it never loses any event and thus reflects 
actual state. But it also means we are not allowed to restart it (whatever it 
is) as it will have no way to query for actual state on restart ...
