If so, it seems weird that acpi_processor_throttling_seq_show() would be getting run at that stage. (The oops trace is supposed to show the oopsing process's task_struct.comm[], but it isn't shown here?) Anyway, there are extensive changes in there added by git-acpi.patch. I suppose we can try to limp along with the below, but it'll probably just oops later on. --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c~git-acpi-disable-acpi_processor_throttling_seq_show +++ a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -648,6 +648,9 @@ static int acpi_processor_throttling_seq goto end; } + seq_puts(seq, "acpi_processor_throttling_seq_show() is busted\n"); + goto end; + seq_printf(seq, "state count: %d\n" "active state: T%d\n" "state available: T%d to T%d\n", _ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
