Hi guys, While running LTP tests I've faced kernel crash caused by ltp_acpi test case. I have ACPI support enabled in kernel but kernel is boot with FDT having ACPI disabled. The ltp_acpi test case application is built along with ltp_acpi_cmds module to run ACPI tests. So my question is - should we update acpica implementation at kernel side by adding 'acpi_disabled' variable checking to the 'acpi_get_devices' function (see patch next to this email, maybe not a good approach) or this should be fixed at LTP side so the ltp_acpi_cmds should be updated in order to check if acpi is enabled before running tests ? Please check for kernel trace below: [ 928.815454] Modules linked in: ltp_acpi_cmds(OE) ip6t_rpfilter ipt_REJECT [ .. ] 2 05:12:36 ... kernel:Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] SMP [ 928.903937] ipmi_devintf mdio_thunder thunderx_edac mdio_cavium ipmi_msghandler dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod dax [ 928.917581] CPU: 32 PID: 27679 Comm: ltp_acpi Tainted: G OE 4.15.0-rc3+ #1 [ 928.928154] Hardware name: Gigabyte MT60-SC0-00_24SATA_02/MT60-SC0-00_24SATA_02, BIOS ThunderX-Firmware-Release-1.22.18-Build_02 Oct 17 2017 [ 928.946235] pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO) [ 928.953764] pc : acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0x64/0x1cc [ 928.961296] lr : acpi_get_devices+0x74/0x90 [ 928.968159] sp : fffffc004d50fba0 [ 928.974170] x29: fffffc004d50fba0 x28: 0000000000000001 [ 928.982234] x27: fffffc00088a1000 x26: 0000000000000001 [ 928.990308] x25: 0000000000000000 x24: fffffc004d50fc58 [ 928.998413] x23: 0000000000000000 x22: 0000000000000001 [ 929.006536] x21: 0000000000000000 x20: fffffc00084fb2c4 [ 929.014680] x19: 0000000000000000 x18: 000003ffe27a5d70 [ 929.022848] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 [ 929.031030] x15: 0000000000005788 x14: 0e200e200e200e20 [ 929.039231] x13: 0000000000000008 x12: 0000000000000001 [ 929.047449] x11: 00000000ffffffff x10: ffffff00044e39a0 [ 929.055695] x9 : 00000000000009eb x8 : 0000000000000001 [ 929.063972] x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : fffffc004d50fc58 [ 929.072272] x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : fffffc00084fb2c4 [ 929.080583] x3 : 0000000000000001 x2 : 00000000ffffffff [ 929.088915] x1 : ffffffffffffffff x0 : fffffc00095fa000 [ 929.097284] Process ltp_acpi (pid: 27679, stack limit = 0x0000000060c25f0d) [ 929.107389] Call trace: [ 929.112989] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0x64/0x1cc [ 929.120648] acpi_get_devices+0x74/0x90 [ 929.127639] sys_tcase+0x158/0x618 [ltp_acpi_cmds] [ 929.135610] dev_attr_store+0x40/0x54 [ 929.142396] sysfs_kf_write+0x5c/0x6c [ 929.149123] kernfs_fop_write+0xc8/0x1d0 [ 929.156122] __vfs_write+0x48/0x150 [ 929.162658] vfs_write+0xa8/0x1a0 [ 929.168994] SyS_write+0x54/0xb0 [ 929.175234] __sys_trace_return+0x0/0x4 [ 929.182099] Code: f9433c13 5280003c 52800017 0a1c007a (f9400e76) [ 929.191352] ---[ end trace ae3e06a2af30d07c ]--- [ 929.199061] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 929.207409] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs [ 929.214374] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 929.220781] CPU features: 0x100108 [ 929.227004] Memory Limit: none [ 929.232805] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception WBR, Vadim -- 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
