Subject: APEI: ERST table in ACPI NVS not supported
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:08:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5108100B.9040907@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi,

we have systems that declare the memory range for ERST in ACPI NVS.
Because ACPI NVS is marked 'busy' by e820_reserve_resources() the call 
to request_mem_region(erst_erange.base, erst_erange.size, "APEI ERST") 
made from erst_init() fails and we get:
ERST: Can not request iomem region <0x        7e91f000-0x        
7e920c00> for ERST.

I did notice that quite some effort was made to add code to avoid 
resource conflicts between APEI and ACPI NVS. But ERST still goes 
straight to request_mem_region() which is bound to fail. I am assuming 
this should go through apei_resources_request() instead or I am missing 
something?

thanks,
Max
