becomes available so that it may be tracked.
Thank you for your help.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Description changed:
I found what I believe is a regression on my Gateway ne570 laptop. It was
running mythbuntu 14.04 LTS and ubuntu 15.04 releases quite well. But when I
installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I found dmesg and kern.log were filling with
messages like this:
Jul 10 17:01:10 buus-ne570 kernel: [ 57.741630] ACPI Error: Method reached
maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
Jul 10 17:01:10 buus-ne570 kernel: [ 57.803775] ACPI Error: Method reached
maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
Jul 10 17:01:10 buus-ne570 kernel: [ 57.866294] ACPI Error: Method reached
maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
Jul 10 17:01:10 buus-ne570 kernel: [ 57.928403] ACPI Error: Method reached
maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
These messages would be repeated several times a second, and then pause
for several seconds, then start again. I believe they are the cause of
more sluggish behavior than with the older *Buntu releases.
- I followed the instructions here:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection
- which lead me to doing "git bisect" on the linux-stable kernel. The result
lead me to this commit:
+ git bisecting the linux-stable kernel led me to the bad commit:
# first bad commit: [02b771b64b73226052d6e731a0987db3b47281e9] ACPI /
EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations
commit 02b771b64b73226052d6e731a0987db3b47281e9

ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations
It is proven that Windows evaluates _Qxx handlers in a parallel way. This
patch follows this fact, splits _Qxx evaluations from the NOTIFY queue to
form a separate queue, so that _Qxx evaluations can be queued up on
different CPUs rather than being queued up on a CPU0 bound queue.
Event handling related callbacks are also renamed and sorted in this
patch.

- The laptop was purchased from tigerdirect. Here's link to specs:
-
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8556911
-
- The laptop appears to be a re-branded Acer Aspire E1-570:
- http://www.acer.com/ac/en/SI/content/model/NX.MGUEX.001
-
- Both have Insyde UEFI firmware. The latest version for both is v2.06 and
- have same release date, 11/11/2013, according to the Acer & Gateway
- support web sites, although the firmware reports an Oct date.
-
- I realize it's quite likely that the laptop's firmware is the root cause
- of the problem. However, since the problem did not exist on older
- kernels, I hope a patch or workaround can be identified that will allow
- me to make good use of this laptop.
-
- Since I can reproduce the problem with a kernel built from the linux-
- stable git tree, should this problem also be reported to
- bugzilla.kernel.org? Or, should I try to contact the author of the
- "first bad commit", Lv Zheng <[email protected]> with the info in this
- bug report?
-
- Is there more testing I should do? Starting with enabling
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG?
-
- Would there be value in me reverting the "first bad commit" to the
- latest Linux-4.4 kernel or to the latest xenial kernel to see if that
- helps or hurts?
-
- Is there more info I should collect, like output from acpidump?
- (Something I've seen mentioned on bugzilla.kernel.org)
