[opensuse-kernel] Disable autoloading of staging drivers?
Hi all, after I found today that with 3.0-rc2 the "mei" module successfully prevents suspend with [39736.728116] pci_pm_suspend(): mei_pci_suspend+0x0/0xc0 [mei] returns 9999 I was wondering if it is a good idea to autoload staging drivers :-) mei being a staging driver and 3.0-rc2 being ancient, I have not yet opened a bug on LKML. I have, however, looked at the code and could not find out where the 9999 come from... -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

From wait_event_interruptible_timeout from mei_wd_stop. It is a bug, not fixed yet. Feel free to report ;).

For some people, yes, it is a good idea, as that's the only way their wireless works on their laptop (Linus, me, etc.) So let's just fix the bug please. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Then I wonder why those drivers are still in the "bag of crap" category if even high profile kernel hackers need them for their daily work :-P (just kidding, in case it's not obvious)

Yes, of course. I actually tried but it was beyond what I could achieve in an appropriate amount of time, so I mailed LKML ;) Tomas Winkler has sent you a fix, that's the answer I got there https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/13/148 -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it should go to Linus soon. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
