From b8a1bdb14940946fcf0438a6337b2a6c54294fb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Starikovskiy Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:37:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: battery: Don't return -EFAIL on broken packages. Acer BIOS has a bug which is exposed when a dead battery is present. The package template that is used to describe battery status is over-written with sane values when the battery is live. But when the batter is dead, a bogus reference in the template is used. In this case, Linux returns a fault, when instead it should simply return that it doesn't know the missing value. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8573 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10202 Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/battery.c | 11 +++++------ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/battery.c b/drivers/acpi/battery.c index f6215e809808..d5729d5dc190 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/battery.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/battery.c @@ -293,13 +293,12 @@ static int extract_package(struct acpi_battery *battery, strncpy(ptr, (u8 *)&element->integer.value, sizeof(acpi_integer)); ptr[sizeof(acpi_integer)] = 0; - } else return -EFAULT; + } else + *ptr = 0; /* don't have value */ } else { - if (element->type == ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER) { - int *x = (int *)((u8 *)battery + - offsets[i].offset); - *x = element->integer.value; - } else return -EFAULT; + int *x = (int *)((u8 *)battery + offsets[i].offset); + *x = (element->type == ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER) ? + element->integer.value : -1; } } return 0; -- 2.20.1
