----------------
Testing results with San build of Kieran patch (comment #149 and comment #155)
----------------
*) Boot with an old kernel. Suspend. Unplug/plug/....(more than 8 times).
Resume. Issue shows. Install new kernel (download, sudo dpkg -i *.deb). Reboot.
Result in /var/log/syslog and dmesg:
Clearing stale EC events
8 EC events polled.
(as previously tested, Kieran patch continues to poll at boot. Good!)
Everything returned to normal, issue resolved.
*) Suspend with lid. Open lid while suspended (1 action).
Result: "1 EC events polled.".
I guess it was "lid open event". Will test without the lid so I don't have to
subtract its lid open event.
*) Suspend through menu (instead of lid). Resume without doing nothing.
Result: "0 EC events polled."
*) Suspend through menu. Unplug/plug/unplug/plug (4 actions).
Result: "4 EC events polled."
*) Suspend through menu. Unplug/plug... (6 actions).
Result: "6 EC events polled."
*) Suspend through menu. Unplug/plug... (18 actions).
Result: "8 EC events polled."
CONCLUSIONS:
A) The patch keeps working perfectly, resolving all situations.
B) My Series 5 NP530U3C accumulates up to 8 events. Not more as I previously
thought.
C) I think 20 is a good number for ACPI_EC_CLEAR_ITER.
So I was wrong about the 16 events number. It is actually definitely 8. I
previously assumed it was double, because when unplugging with 'acpi_listen'
open, one can see both ADP1 and BAT1 devices being triggered (the CPU devices
are notified from the DSDT when the AC _Q51 or _Q52 methods are called, so they
don't count). So I assumed that two events were generated per plug. But it
seems not, or at least not during sleep.
When I discovered that 8 unplug or plug actions were necessary to trigger
the problem state, I assumed that each accumulated two events, so I thought 16
total. I was wrong there. Definitely it's 8 max accumulated events.
Cheers!
