Eh? the threads *are* created dynamically - and only if the user first enables this behaviour by writing to a /proc filesystem entry (e.g. in an init script). NO additional memory (except for the code itself) is used unless the user explicitly enables this behaviour. Also, I don't regard this as an "obscure case". Even if this bug were never triggered by any current hardware, it represents a divergence from the ACPI spec which could potentially bite any new hardware. We can't claim that Linux supports the full ACPI spec without some similar patch. > > Also externs belong in header files. > You're thinking of the declaration of acpi_os_initialize2? Well, there was an existing extern declaration: acpi_os_initialize1 - I just added another one :-). I don't want to expose this in a header because it is a purely private interface. The neatest solution would be to make an __initcall entry. However, this wouldn't work at the moment, because acpi_os_initialize2 creates an entry in /proc/acpi which does not exist until the bus.c initialization stuff. Is it possible to swap the order of bus.c and osl.c in the link line (I assume this swaps the order of the __initcalls)? Anyway, here is the second version of my patch. It has been tested pretty thoroughly against 2.6.16.4, and applies cleanly to 2.6.16.11. As promised, the thread pool entries are now destroyed dynamically; if no ACPI events occur in 10 seconds, all the extra threads will disappear. I have added a kernel boot option "acpi_pool_size=". This is necessary because a thermal trip may occur between booting and running any init script which writes the /proc/acpi/pool_size (particularly if the system was warm to start with). Therefore, the thread pool needs to be enabled at boot time. I renamed /proc/acpi/poolsize to /proc/acpi/pool_size for greater readability and compatibility with other filenames. I downgraded the debugging messages to ACPI_DB_INFO level, so they are not printed by default. The patch is very robust for me now, so I don't think we should need them.
