From 2aaf1f781cb77812e5d9678d7b126ec13cebf283 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 11:33:18 +0200 Subject: ACPI / PM: Avoid infinite recurrence while registering power resources commit 7bed50c5edf5cba8dd515a31191cbfb6065ddc85 upstream. There is at least one BIOS with a DSDT containing a power resource object with a _PR0 entry pointing back to that power resource. In consequence, while registering that power resource acpi_bus_get_power_flags() sees that it depends on itself and tries to register it again, which leads to an infinitely deep recurrence. This problem was introduced by commit bf325f9538d8c89312be305b9779e (ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are needed). To fix this problem use the observation that power resources cannot be power manageable and prevent acpi_bus_get_power_flags() from being called for power resource objects.
