The T40 is affected as well for sure. It uses the same BIOS and EC firmware, it *has* to be. And it is missing on this list. For IBM ThinkPads, it is *always* better to match on BIOS version than on product version. See here for model-BIOS table: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_Upgrade_Downloads and here for DMI info table: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/List_of_DMI_IDs > + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION,"ThinkPad T43"), > + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION,"ThinkPad T43p"), Two possible BIOS: 1Y and 70 for the T43, and BIOS 1Y for the T43p. Are you sure all of these machines have the bug? Is there a common factor in the DSDT tables we can check to root out the buggy ones? > + .ident = "IBM ThinkPad R40", > + .matches = { > + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,"IBM"), > + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION,"ThinkPad R40"), > + }, Two possible BIOSes: 1O and 1P... and many other ThinkPad BIOSes exist in the time window from the 1O/1P to the 1Y. Shouldn't all of them be suspect? No X models have these issues? (the X models always had a slightly more advanced BIOS, so it is indeed possible that the bug was never on that branch of the code). > + if (dmi_check_system(thermal_psv_dmi_table)) { > + if (tz->trips.passive.flags.valid && > + tz->trips.passive.temperature > CELSIUS_TO_KELVIN(85)) { > + printk (KERN_INFO "Adjust passive trip point from %lu" > + " to %lu\n", > + KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(tz->trips.passive.temperature), > + KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(tz->trips.passive.temperature - 150)); > + tz->trips.passive.temperature -= 150; > + acpi_thermal_set_polling(tz, 5); > + } > + } If this is a safe test that won't misstrigger or cause issues, maybe just enable it on anything with BIOS_VENDOR IBM, and PRODUCT_VERSION "ThinkPad [TR]*" ? None of them have CPUs that should go over 85C, AFAIK. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
