ACPI problems with 2.6.31 linux-acpi

ACPI problems with 2.6.31 linux-acpi

[Henric Blomgren]

Hello everyone,

I've got a problem with one of my home debian nodes and I'm lead to
believe it is to do with the acpi system.

When installing 2.6.26 (debian vanilla) the system randomly locks up
with the message:
BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! 61s
While kacpid consumes 100% cpu according to top.

With this being an older kernel I took it upon myself to build 2.6.31
to see if there was any change.
The system does not lock up any more, but kacpid still consumes close
to 100% cpu and I'm getting this in my dmesg:
[45699.978868] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution
failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.SMBR] (Node f7812c48), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP

GPE method [_L00] 20090521 evgpe-568
(constantly repeating).

The system is an Intel Atom Little-Falls mini itx board with 1gb ram
which I've checked with memtest86.

acpidump output is available at : http://halfbug.com/acpi.txt

Booting with acpi=off fixes the problem, but I thought I would report
this issue since it is happening with the latest kernel.

Sorry if the above information does not include everything you need to
know, if anything is missing please let me know and I'll get the
information.

Henric

Will you please file a bug report at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI and attach the
following output?
   a. acpidump
   b. grep -R . /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/*
   c. lspic -vxxx

Thanks.
