I used https://github.com/mcgrof/fake-firmware-test to confirm that disabling CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER eliminates use of the user helper and the associated delay when the firmware is missing. Patch has been sent to the kernel team mailing list. -- You received this bug notification because yo

It looks like I don't have any of the affected hardware. I put up a test build at the link below; Sebastien, could you give it a try (with the workaround removed obviously) and confirm that it fixes the problem? http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp1398458/linux-3.18.0-5.6+lp1398458v20141203102

I don't think it makes sense to change this in the 3.16 kernel, which is currently what's being used in vivid. On the surface it makes sense to disable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER in the 3.18 branch, except that ultimately the vivid kernel will also be released for trusty. In theory things should

Please create /etc/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules with SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN="/bin/false" and see whether that improves things? To be honest I don't know exactly what the kernel expects from the userspace helper, but it's worth a try. -- You received this bug notification

So here's what happens: - The intel driver has a list of valid versions, -6, -5, -4, -3; the kernel tries all of them in descending order - It starts with loading -6, which is ENOENT - As we enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER, it now tries to call that (with a timeout of 60 seconds); the timeout
