[PATCH v2] PCI/ACPI: Disable AER when _OSC control bit is clear.

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

 



From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@xxxxxxx>

Currently, aer_service_init() checks if AER is available and that
Firmware First handling is not enabled. The _OSC request for AER is not
taken into account when deciding to enable AER in Linux.

>From ACPI 6.2 Section 6.2.11.3, "If any bits in the Control Field are
returned cleared (masked to zero) by the _OSC control method, the
respective feature is designated unsupported by the platform and must
not be enabled by the OS."

The OS and the Platform should agree that the OS can have control of AER
otherwise we should disable AER in the OS.

Mark AER as disabled if the _OSC request was not made or accepted.

This covers two cases where the OS and Platform disagree:
1) The OS requests AER control and Platform denies the request.
2) The OS does not request AER control but the Platform returns the AER
   control bit set, possibly due to a Firmware bug.

The _OSC control for AER is not requested when APEI Firmware First is
used, so the same condition applies from case 2 above.

Remove redundant check for aer_acpi_firmware_first() when calling
aer_service_init(), since this check is already included when checking
the _OSC control.
