I patched the source from 3.8.0-27.40 (there aren't any changes for the mei driver in any Ubuntu 3.8 kernels) and just build the module. The dmesg log still continues to fill with "mei reset" messages.
Since the mei driver has changed a lot since 3.8, I tried to backport the mei driver from git AKA 3.11-rc5+ (commit dab9bf41b23fe700c4a74133e41eb6a21706031e) for a test. The backport patch is very minimal and stops the messages, but since I don't use the Intel AMT interface, I don't know if it's working as expected. ** Patch added: "Backport patch for the mei driver from kernel v3.11-rc5+ to v3.8." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176577/+attachment/3775052/+files/mei-bp-from-commit-dab9bf41b23.diff ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #917081 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917081 ** Also affects: linux (Fedora) via https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917081 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176577 Title: mei unexpected reset in kernel 3.8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
