--- Comment #6 from Zhang Rui <rui.zh...@intel.com> 2009-09-21 09:11:24 --- I think this patch may help, commit 74b5820808215f65b70b05a099d6d3c969b82689 Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helg...@hp.com> Date: Wed Jul 29 15:54:25 2009 -0600 ACPI: bind workqueues to CPU 0 to avoid SMI corruption On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the SMI runs on CPU 0. An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.
