SuperIO devices share regions and use lock/unlock operations to chip select. We therefore need to be able to request a resource and wait for it to be freed by whichever other SuperIO device currently hogs it. Right now you have to poll which is horrible. Add a MUXED field to IO port resources. If the MUXED field is set on the resource and on the request (via request_muxed_region) then we block until the previous owner of the muxed resource releases their region. This allows us to implement proper resource sharing and locking for superio chips using code of the form enable_my_superio_dev() { request_muxed_region(0x44, 0x02, "superio:watchdog"); outb() ..sequence to enable chip } disable_my_superio_dev() { outb() .. sequence of disable chip release_region(0x44, 0x02); } Signed-off-by: Giel van Schijndel <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <[email protected]>
