[PATCH] acpi: acpica: add acpi status check prior walking through namespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Vadim Lomovtsev <vadim.lomovtsev@xxxxxxxxxx>

While having kernel built with ACPI support enabled and booted over FDT,
the ltp_acpi test from LTP suite causes kernel crash while calling
acpi_ns_walk_namespace(). The acpi_get_devices is high level wrapper for
it, so we need to protect kernel from crashes by adding acpi status
check before walking through namespace which is not loaded because of
acpi is disabled.
