Hmm, it doesn't move the code. It just reuse the code in acpi_memory_powerdown_device().

Even if reuse or not reuse, you changed the behavior. If any changes
has no good rational, you cannot get an ack.

I don't understand this? IIRC, the behavior isn't changed.

Heh, please explain why do you think so.

We just introduce a function, and move codes from acpi_memory_disable_device() to the new
function. We call the new function in acpi_memory_disable_device(), so the function
acpi_memory_disable_device()'s behavior isn't changed.

Maybe I don't understand what do you want to say.

Ok, now you agreed you moved the code, yes? So then, you should explain why
your code moving makes zero impact other acpi_memory_disable_device() caller.

We just move the code, and don't change the acpi_memory_disable_device()'s behavior.

I look it the change again, and found some diffs:
1. we treat !info->enabled as error, while it isn't a error without this patch
2. we remove memory info from the list, it is a bug fix because we free the memory
that stores memory info.(I have sent a patch to fix this bug, and it is in akpm's tree now)

I guess you mean 1 will change the behavior. In the last version, I don't do it.
Ishimatsu changes this and I don't notify this.

To Ishimatsu:

Why do you change this?

Oops. If so, it's my mistake.
Could you update it in next version?

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu


Thanks
