Summary: ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction Product: ACPI Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: EC AssignedTo: acpi...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org ReportedBy: haag_nor...@gmx.de Regression: No Hi on my new Dell Studio 1555 I got the following issue: On a fresh boot I'm able to change brightness via brightnesskeys and ac-adapter is detected properly, but as soon as the following error appears: ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction brightness control is no longer possible. Even the detection whether an ac-adapter or not is attached fails. I found that commenting the "goto end;" in ec.c (see below) workarounds this problem. It may be something similar like the MSI Force-Polling. Maybe you could find some better fix for that issue (I'm not that kernel-specialist at all :) ) Best Regards Norman Haag static int acpi_ec_transaction(struct acpi_ec *ec, struct transaction *t, int force_poll) { int status; u32 glk; if (!ec || (!t) || (t->wlen && !t->wdata) || (t->rlen && !t->rdata)) return -EINVAL; if (t->rdata) memset(t->rdata, 0, t->rlen); mutex_lock(&ec->lock); if (ec->global_lock) { status = acpi_acquire_global_lock(ACPI_EC_UDELAY_GLK, &glk); if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) { status = -ENODEV; goto unlock; } } if (ec_wait_ibf0(ec)) { pr_err(PREFIX "input buffer is not empty, " "aborting transaction--\n"); status = -ETIME; //goto end; } status = acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked(ec, t, force_poll); end: if (ec->global_lock) acpi_release_global_lock(glk); unlock: mutex_unlock(&ec->lock); return status; } -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
