But anyway I send a patch that fix the warning removing the qt2_box_flush func... 30 Jul 2010 19:39

[patch 2/2] x86, smp: use workqueues unconditionally during do_boot_cpu()
Workqueues are now initialized as part of the early_initcall(). So they are available for use during cold boot process aswell. And also ACPI hotplug notifier no longer calls do_boot_cpu() in the keventd_wq context. So we can unconditionally use workqueues in do_boot_cpu() Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b... 30 Jul 2010 18:34

[patch 1/2] workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall()
Mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() and thus it will be initialized before smp bringup. init_workqueues() registers for the hotcpu notifier and thus it should cope with the processors that are brought online after the workqueues are initialized. x86 smp bringup code uses workqueues and uses a workaround fo... 30 Jul 2010 18:34

Regression (bisected): Lots of wakeups when using battery
Hi, testing 2.6.35-rc5 I noticed that when my laptop is on battery, there are bursts of wakeups (they seem random, but usually happens once each 5 sec. or so; they cause some audible noise). If the laptop is plugged it behaves well. In single user mode, there are usually 2 wakeups/sec with the system idle, but on b... 31 Jul 2010 01:05

EFI runtime-services on x86_64
Hello Feng, Can you educate me about your commit 772be899bc, "86: Make EFI RTC function depend on 32bit again"? It adds "#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32" to avoid using efi_get_time() and efi_set_rtc_mmss(), but there's no explanation of *why* those services only work on 32-bit. Is this an EFI spec limitation? Do the... 3 Aug 2010 19:08
