Subject: [PATCH] Fix segfault when printing battery status
Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:49:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200711182049.33355.eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> (raw)

cat /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:19/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT1/status
This leads to a stacktrace as acpi_battery_get_property() returns 0 for a
case where it does not set val->intval. These value is used as an array
index in drivers/power/power_supply_sysfs.c::power_supply_show_property().
I had a situation where the value was 4096 which caused a problem as the
array only has 5 entries.
