Summary: acpi sysfs creates useless module aliases
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Other
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No
This shows the list of exported module aliases from ACPI:
grep . /sys/bus/acpi/devices/*/modalias
More than half of it are just 'acpi:device:' which looks rather useless to
export, and these values without meaning should better be suppressed.
These aliases cause ~70 needless calls to:
/sbin/modprobe $MODALIAS
on every bootup.
We could filter that in userland, but prefer the fix at the ACPI sysfs to not
to export information without information. :)
