The output of sensors related to the is: dell_smm-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device fan1: 0 RPM fan2: 0 RPM This suggests that temperature sensors are not discovered. Speeds reported in the hwmon interface are consistent with the others. On 11/27/18 11:06 PM, Michele Sorcinelli wrote:
Allow the module to be loaded on Dell XPS 9570, without having to use the "force=1" option. The module loads without problems, and reports correct fan values: $ time cat /proc/i8k 1.0 1.5 -1 35 0 0 0 0 -1 -22 cat /proc/i8k 0.00s user 0.00s system 7% cpu 0.033 total However, the call may freeze the kernel for a very small time due to code running in the SSM layer. This is a known issue with the driver, and can be reproduced with other supported models. Average execution time is 33 ms. The command line tools from i8kutils can properly set the fan speed, although the firmware will override it, unless automatic fan control is disabled with the proper SSM call. Average fans speed (when firwmare automatic control is off): STATE -> RPM 0 0 -> 0 0 1 1 -> 2500 2500 2 2 -> 5100 5100 3 3 -> same as 2 2 --- drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c b/drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c index 9d3ef879d..367a8a617 100644 --- a/drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c +++ b/drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c @@ -1017,6 +1017,13 @@ static const struct dmi_system_id i8k_dmi_table[] __initconst = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "XPS 15 9560"), }, }, + { + .ident = "Dell XPS 15 9570", + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Inc."), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "XPS 15 9570"), + }, + }, { } };
