    ACPI / hotplug: Use device offline/online for graceful hot-removal · 683058e3
    Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
    Modify the generic ACPI hotplug code to be able to check if devices
    scheduled for hot-removal may be gracefully removed from the system
    using the device offline/online mechanism introduced previously.
    
    Namely, make acpi_scan_hot_remove() handling device hot-removal call
    device_offline() for all physical companions of the ACPI device nodes
    involved in the operation and check the results.  If any of the
    device_offline() calls fails, the function will not progress to the
    removal phase (which cannot be aborted), unless its (new) force
    argument is set (in case of a failing offline it will put the devices
    offlined by it back online).
    
    In support of 'forced' device hot-removal, add a new sysfs attribute
    'force_remove' that will reside under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.
