3.11.10.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kieran Clancy <clancy.kieran@xxxxxxxxx> commit ad332c8a45330d170bb38b95209de449b31cd1b4 upstream. A number of Samsung notebooks (530Uxx/535Uxx/540Uxx/550Pxx/900Xxx/etc) continue to log events during sleep (lid open/close, AC plug/unplug, battery level change), which accumulate in the EC until a buffer fills. After the buffer is full (tests suggest it holds 8 events), GPEs stop being triggered for new events. This state persists on wake or even on power cycle, and prevents new events from being registered until the EC is manually polled. This is the root cause of a number of bugs, including AC not being detected properly, lid close not triggering suspend, and low ambient light not triggering the keyboard backlight. The bug also seemed to be responsible for performance issues on at least one user's machine. Juan Manuel Cabo found the cause of bug and the workaround of polling the EC manually on wake. The loop which clears the stale events is based on an earlier patch by Lan Tianyu (see referenced attachment). This patch: - Adds a function acpi_ec_clear() which polls the EC for stale _Q events at most ACPI_EC_CLEAR_MAX (currently 100) times. A warning is logged if this limit is reached. - Adds a flag EC_FLAGS_CLEAR_ON_RESUME which is set to 1 if the DMI system vendor is Samsung. This check could be replaced by several more specific DMI vendor/product pairs, but it's likely that the bug affects more Samsung products than just the five series mentioned above. Further, it should not be harmful to run acpi_ec_clear() on systems without the bug; it will return immediately after finding no data waiting. - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on initialisation (boot), from acpi_ec_add() - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on wake, from acpi_ec_unblock_transactions() References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44161 References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45461 References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57271 References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=126801 Suggested-by: Juan Manuel Cabo <juanmanuel.cabo@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kieran Clancy <clancy.kieran@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Dennis Jansen <dennis.jansen@xxxxxx> Tested-by: Kieran Clancy <clancy.kieran@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Juan Manuel Cabo <juanmanuel.cabo@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Dennis Jansen <dennis.jansen@xxxxxx> Tested-by: Maurizio D'Addona <mauritiusdadd@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: San Zamoyski <san@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
