Subject: ACPICA: Report error if method creates 2 objects with the same name
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~92^2~32^2^2~9^2~54
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=13b572a35ed904ae1e162f8ee89ca7fd6992b44c;p=linux-2.6

ACPICA: Report error if method creates 2 objects with the same name

Fixed a regression where an error was no
longer emitted if a control method attempts to create 2
objects of the same name. This previously and now returns
AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. When this exception occurs, it invokes
the mechanism that will dynamically serialize the control
method to possible prevent future errors. (BZ 440)
