Summary: Broken system because of a bad ACPI commit
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.31.9
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Power-Processor
AssignedTo: acpi_power-proces...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: pe...@digip.org
Regression: Yes
After an upgrade to 2.6.31 kernel, the system is very unstable.
Sometimes it doesn't boot. If it does, the laptop keyboard doesn't
work and after a few minutes it hangs with ATA errors.
I bisected this problem down to the following commit:
commit ee1ca48fae7e575d5e399d4fdcfe0afc1212a64c
Author: Pallipadi, Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallip...@intel.com>
Date: Thu May 21 17:09:10 2009 -0700
ACPI: Disable ARB_DISABLE on platforms where it is not needed
ARB_DISABLE is a NOP on all of the recent Intel platforms.
For such platforms, reduce contention on c3_lock
by skipping the fake ARB_DISABLE.

Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.br...@intel.com>
With this commit reverted, the system works fine with 2.6.31.

If I read the code correctly, in the commit message, "all of the
recent Intel platforms" seem to mean those with family == 6 and model
>= 14. My processor's model is 14 so could we have an
off-by-one error here?
