------- Comment #47 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-12-14 13:16 -------
Thanks for the quick resolution, guys.

The 3 patches (taken from the list)
are now in the acpi release tree for 2.6.24-rc5.

Andrew's doubt was correct, however -- I didn't notice this report until now,
for I was not on the CC.

In general, adding acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net, as I'm doing now,
to bugs that may involve ACPI is good practice.  I do periodically sift
through bugzilla to look for trouble in the ACPI category, but
periodically != constantly.

François,
To answer your question about the regression being
checked into the tree 3 months ago during 2.6.23...

If you run gitk on that commit, you'll notice that it
figures out where in the release cycle that commit lands.
If it said "Preceeds 2.6.23", then it means it shipped in
2.6.23 - no matter what tag it follows.
But this one "Preceeds 2.6.24-rc1", which means it
first shipped upstream in 2.6.24-rc1, even though
it was checked into a tree well before that.
Indeed, this patch series was checked into 2.6.23
much earlier than the final commit, and it was "re-based"
late in 2.6.23 in preparation for 2.6.24...

But more importantly, you noticed this first at 2.6.24-rc2.
That means that nobody with a system like yours
(Smart battery and Klaptopdaemon bug) ran the -mm tree
for the period this was in 2.6.23-rc*-mm*, nor ran the upstream
kernel tree until 2.6.24-rc2.

While it is true that systems with sbs is quite rare
(for many years, Linux did not support them at all)
this testing gap is not comforting.
