OK, thanks! Now, there is a theory to test and some more debug work to do. First, the kernel should not crash outright if some ACPI device objects are missing which evidently happens here. There may be some problems resulting from that, but the crash indicates a code bug in the kernel. Apparently, something expects the device objects to be there so badly, that it crashes right away when they aren't there. One of the issues that may cause that to happen are mistakes around the acpi_bus_get_device() usage and I found two of them, so below is a patch to test. Please apply to plain 5.11-rc3 (or -rc4 when it is out) and see if that makes any difference. --- drivers/acpi/scan.c | 3 +-- drivers/usb/core/usb-acpi.c | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Index: linux-pm/drivers/acpi/scan.c =================================================================== --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/acpi/scan.c +++ linux-pm/drivers/acpi/scan.c @@ -2120,8 +2120,7 @@ void acpi_walk_dep_device_list(acpi_hand mutex_lock(&acpi_dep_list_lock); list_for_each_entry_safe(dep, tmp, &acpi_dep_list, node) { if (dep->supplier == handle) { - acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer, &adev); - if (!adev) + if (acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer, &adev)) continue; adev->dep_unmet--; Index: linux-pm/drivers/usb/core/usb-acpi.c =================================================================== --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/usb/core/usb-acpi.c +++ linux-pm/drivers/usb/core/usb-acpi.c @@ -163,10 +163,9 @@ usb_acpi_get_companion_for_port(struct u } else { parent_handle = usb_get_hub_port_acpi_handle(udev->parent, udev->portnum); - if (!parent_handle) + if (!parent_handle || acpi_bus_get_device(parent_handle, &adev)) return NULL; - acpi_bus_get_device(parent_handle, &adev); port1 = port_dev->portnum; }
