[PATCH] ACPI: Move timer broadcast and pmtimer access before C3 arbiter shutdown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Udo A. Steinberg <[email protected]>

The chip set doc for IHC4 says:

1.In general, software should not attempt any non-posted accesses during
arbiter disable except to the ICH4's power management registers. This
implies that interrupt handlers for any unmasked hardware interrupts and
SMI/NMI should check ARB_DIS status before reading from ICH devices.

So it's not a good idea to access ICH devices after arbiter shut down.
