Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Clear GPE before disabling it
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 13:19:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060808191903.GA10816@cosmic.amd.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 264 bytes --]

On AMD Geode BIOSen, we have problems with GPE interrupt storms.  The
attached patch resolves that.  This should be fine for all implementations,
though.

[PATCH] ACPI:  Clear GPE before disabling it

From: William Morrow <william.morrow@amd.com>

On some BIOSen, the GPE bit will remain set even if it is disabled, 
resulting in a interrupt storm.  This patch clears the bit before 
disabling it.
