Subject: ACPI "_PDC" - acpi_processor_set_pdc()- execution regression - Linux-3.x
Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:38:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323297487.4edfeacfc49ff@imp.free.fr> (raw)
We have a regression on the ACPI stack of the last linux kernel line 3.x (3.1.4,
3.2-rc4...). The ACPI "_PDC" chunk is not executed on some computers (e.g. Dell
X300; the function acpi_processor_set_pdc() is not called). This issue yield to
an uninitialized state of some ACPI variables.
A patch is available below. This patch come back to the previous linux behavior,
and works fine.
Best Regards,
Wallak.
