If an ACPI SSDT overlay is loaded after built-in tables have been
loaded e.g. via configfs or efivar_ssdt_load() it is necessary to
rewalk the namespace to resolve references. Without this, relative
and absolute paths like ^PCI0.SBUS or \_SB.PCI0.SBUS are not resolved
correctly.

Make configfs load use the same method as efivar_ssdt_load().

This is fine by me, so

Or if you want me to take this patch (without the other two in the
series), please let me know.

thanks. I think it would be the best if you take up this patch as it is an independent topic. In retrospect it wasn't a good idea to put it into this series.

Kind regards,
Niko

I would have to ask, why is additional code needed for package initialization/resolution? It already happens elsewhere in acpica. Bob

for built-in tables loaded via acpi_ex_load_table_op() everything is fine, because after acpi_tb_load_table() acpi_ns_walk_namespace() is called to resolve references.

My fix only affects tables loaded dynamically via either acpi_configfs driver (for debugging purposes) or efivar_ssdt_load() (to specify a table on the kernel's command line). They use acpi_load_table() to load the table from a caller-owned buffer. To resolve the references, it is again necessary to rewalk the namespace, which was simply missing in acpi_load_table().
