Would you please help to test the patch at comment #3?
Thanks
Comment 5 Lin Ming 2008-05-19 19:58:07 UTC
add comments for the patch:
----
It's not safe to access walk_state->op in acpi_ps_get_next_namepath and acpi_ps_get_next_arg since it may have been deleted.

It's safe to refer to current op by walk_state->opcode.
