Subject: Owner ID wraparound problem during _BST
Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2003 22:51:09 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.53.0308092239430.8919@compserv2> (raw)
Hi
I'm using 2.4.20 kernel with ACPI-patch 20021212. I found on sourceforge
that 20030523 has fixed the OwnerId wraparound problem. I'm currently
looking at the new sources and if I'm getting it right, the only change
related to this is in aclocal.h, where the values of ACPI_FIRST_METHOD_ID
and ACPI_FIRST_TABLE_ID have been changed to provide more room for
TYPE_METHOD owner_ids to grow before wrapping around (upto 0xF000 as
opposed to 0x8000 earlier). Would be great if some one could confirm if
this is indeed the only change related to fixing this problem. Also, what
exactly is the reason why this value *has* to be 16-bit and not bigger.
Thanks in advance !
Best,
--Manish
