http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=925961 --- Comment #26 from Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.com> --- Rui, thanks for looking into this. I am not familiar enough with the thermal subsystem to review your patches. Also I don't own an Acer laptop myself so I can't test if they would solve the problem that was reported here. But I have to say I have some doubts that they would actually help. My understanding of the problem is that the acerhdf wanted to be called back even when the step_wise governor considered that no change in cooling was needed, and the optimization broke that mechanism/assumption. If you believe that the problem would actually be solved by your patches, please explain how, as it isn't obvious to me. This is mostly theoretical though, as I don't think that your 3 patches qualify for stable kernels. They are large and somewhat intrusive, so they could come with regressions or side effects. I wouldn't take the risk of applying them to the openSUSE 13.2 kernel. Reverting the optimization as I did feels much safer. I did send a patch reverting 178c2490b99f898efc06d1ad75cadc84f13021a6 to the stable kernel mailing list, with suggestion to apply it to kernel branches v3.12 to v3.17.
