Bug#670958: linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae: udev/power_supply battery oscilates between remove and add



Package: src:linux-2.6
Followup-For: Bug #670958

Hmm.. This looks like alot of work.

I also made and checked a diff between 2.6.37-2 and
2.6.38~rc6-1~experimental.1 sources and it looks like there was some
functionality added to the drivers/power section which doesn't seem to
work right. I think this new functionality tries to add new messages to
udev so that usermode clients distinguish between power cable connection
and disconnection. Before 2.6.38~rc6-1~experimental.1, I didn't see any
"add"/"remove" in 'udevadm monitor' actions when removing/connecting the
power cable, there were only "change" messages.

I'll check the latest kernel, but if the regression is still there,
shouldn't we just ask the upstream, instead of looking for the needle in
the haystack and revert the change? I mean, he/she should know what the
added functionality should do and have a better idea on how to fix it.

Attached acpidump also.
