Hello Greg,

We need the following 2 upstream commits applied to 5.4.y to
fix an iBFT
boot failure:

2021-03-29 rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx - 1a1c130a 2021-03-23 Rafael J.
Wysocki ACPI: tables: x86: Reserve memory occupied by ACPI tables
2021-04-13 rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx - 6998a88 2021-04-13 Rafael J.
Wysocki ACPI: x86: Call acpi_boot_table_init() after
acpi_table_upgrade()

Currently, only the first commit (1a1c130a) is destined for
5.10 & 5.11.

The 2nd commit (6998a88) is needed as well and both commits are needed
in 5.4.y.
Is this a regression (i.e. did this hardware work on older kernels?),
and if so, what commit caused the problem?

These commits are already in 5.10.y, what changed in older kernels to
require this to be backported?
Hello Greg,

Can the same 2 patches also be applied to 4.14.y, which one of distros is
based on?

4.14.y crashes during ibft boot with KASAN enabled without the 2 patches.
What about 4.19.y?  You do not want to skip anything in the middle,
right?

And I need an ack from the authors and maintainers of these changes
before I can take them into the stable trees.  Any reason you didn't cc:
them all?
CC+ maintainers

Rafael and Mike,

We need Rafael's 2 upstream ACPI commits (1a1c130a & 6998a88) backported to more of the stable branches - at least in 5.4.y, 4.14.y, and 4.19.y.

Can you (along with the other maintainers) ACK the request?

Without the 2 ACPI commits, the failure occurs in latest 4.19.y and other stable branches. Rafael's 2 ACPI commits fix the crash.
