Description Pascal de Bruijn 2013-02-18 14:38:40 UTC
Currently the kernel has a reboot quick for the Dell OptiPlex 760 system, where three bios properties are matched. However the DMI_BOARD_NAME match (against "0G919G") only applies the quirk in a very specific case.

We've recently run into this failure to reboot issue on a series of Dell OptiPlex 760 systems with another DMI_BOARD_NAME.

[PATCH] x86: Expand Dell OptiPlex 760 reboot quirk

After patching a custom built 3.4.32 kernel, we found that our particular OptiPlex 760 systems are properly rebooting (as they were previously not).

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the report and the patch. I would suggest you send the patch to the LKML mailing list so that people will give you comments or merge your code.
The maintainer should be "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>.
Comment 4 Aaron Lu 2013-03-13 08:13:47 UTC
Patch sent but no comments yet.

[PATCH 2/2] x86: add Dell OptiPlex 780 reboot quirk

The OptiPlex 780 has the same reboot issue.
Comment 7 Aaron Lu 2013-06-09 02:42:37 UTC
So we have two patches to solve two issues, right?

Please submit them upstream, so that maintainers will be able to take them, thanks. Please re-send after a while if there is no response from maintainer.
Comment 8 Aaron Lu 2013-07-01 02:51:30 UTC
What's the status of this patch?
Comment 9 Pascal de Bruijn 2013-07-01 07:04:06 UTC
It's basically the same issue on then two, and now three different pieces of hardware.

I've just re-mailed the patches to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org:

 [PATCH 1/3] x86: Expand Dell OptiPlex 760 reboot quirk
 [PATCH 2/3] x86: add Dell OptiPlex 780 reboot quirk
 [PATCH 3/3] x86: add Dell OptiPlex 755 reboot quirk
Comment 10 Aaron Lu 2013-09-05 05:59:31 UTC
Hi Pascal,

I suppose these patches are similar to this one?

I've updated my full patch set. And they are very similar to 6be30bb7d7...
Comment 15 Aaron Lu 2013-09-05 07:20:45 UTC
Thanks Pascal. I just searched the mailing list, it turned out VT-d may be related. Can you please verify if disable VT-d solves the problem? Thanks.
