Distribution: RH 9 + base kernel 2.6.0-test7,test8 Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkpad T21 Problem Description: If you press fn+F4 , or other function keys, there should be only 1 ACPI interrupt generated rather than 2. Steps to reproduce: a). boot up kernel with full ACPI features. b). cat /proc/interrupts .... 11: 6 XT-PIC acpi .... c). press Fn+F4(or other function keys) d). cat /proc/interrups .... 11: 8 XT-PIC acpi ....
Created attachment 1214 [details] patch for fixing this issue.
or can you just call acpi_clear_gpe from ec.c?
Please explain how this patch fixes the problem. Also -- with the major GPE changes in mid-2004, this problem *may* have gone away.
please verify that this is still a problem in 2.6.9
I don't have access to T21 now. But I have T42. With 2.6.10-rc2, each FN+F4 cause 4 increment.
Is this still a problem?
The assumption should be wrong, because it depends on implementation.
