4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx> commit 30c9bb0d7603e7b3f4d6a0ea231e1cddae020c32 upstream. The order of the _OSI related functionalities is as follows: acpi_blacklisted() acpi_dmi_osi_linux() acpi_osi_setup() acpi_osi_setup() acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< parse_args() __setup("acpi_osi=") acpi_osi_setup_linux() acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< acpi_early_init() acpi_initialize_subsystem() acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ acpi_bus_init() acpi_os_initialize1() acpi_install_interface_handler(acpi_osi_handler) acpi_osi_setup_late() acpi_update_interfaces() for "!" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> acpi_osi_handler() Since acpi_osi_setup_linux() can override acpi_dmi_osi_linux(), the command line setting can override the DMI detection. That's why acpi_blacklisted() is put before __setup("acpi_osi="). Then we can notice the following wrong invocation order. There are acpi_update_interfaces() (marked by <<<<) calls invoked before acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). This makes it impossible to use acpi_osi=!* correctly from OSI DMI table or from the command line. The use of acpi_osi=!* is meant to disable both ACPICA (acpi_gbl_supported_interfaces) and Linux specific strings (osi_setup_entries) while the ACPICA part should have stopped working because of the order issue. This patch fixes this issue by moving acpi_update_interfaces() to where it is invoked for acpi_osi=! (marked by >>>>) as this is ensured to be invoked after acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). Linux specific strings are still handled in the original place in order to make the following command line working: acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device". Note that since acpi_osi=!* is meant to further disable linux specific string comparing to the acpi_osi=!, there is no such use case in our bug fixing work and hence there is no one using acpi_osi=!* either from the command line or from the DMI quirks, this issue is just a theoretical issue.
