Commit d5a1c7e3fc38 ("rtc-cmos: Add an alarm disable quirk") that
added a special quirk is not needed because PATCH [2/2] of this
patchset makes the kernel more robust:
rtc: restore the RTC alarm time to the configured alarm time in BIOS
Setup

So, your series really fix the reboot issue on this already notoriously
buggy box.

I did try to confirm it 5 times just to be sure and in all 5, the box
remained off.

We're testing another box currently which has the same issue.

Now, for the next version of your patches, I'd ask you to put this patch
second. I.e., you want to introduce the new fix first and *then* remove
the quirk as this way we have a window where no quirk will be in place
and possible bisection will be disturbed needlessly even though we can
help it.

Looking at the bugzilla entry above, that should be Diego's box.

Diego, would you be able to test these patches? They're a better fix
than what I did last year.

If you want me to prepare an openSUSE kernel for you, let me know and
I'll do one. I'd only need to know which distro.

Thanks.

Hello, sure I can.
In the meanwhile I upgraded my linux box to opensuse 13.2 with actual
kernel: 3.16.7-21-desktop
so the patch should be applied to that kernel, and please, as is passed
some time please point out the tests you want me to try

Diego

Ok, I'll prepare one.

Simply executing

"shutdown -h now"

should keep the box off.

You could also do the things you've tried when reporting the bug:

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812592#c0

Anyway, thanks, I'll let you know.

Ok, I've uploaded a test kernel here - kernel-desktop, 64-bit:

http://beta.suse.com/private/bpetkov/

Let me know if you have trouble testing it.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I'm experiencing a new issue related to btrfs, so my system is
not usable now: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931787 until
I found a solution

I confirm that I can shutdon the linux box with the kernel you provided
here it is the bootlog

Thank you

Cool, very nice. Thanks a lot for testing!

@Adrian: I think you can add Tested-by:'s to your v2.

Here are mine:

Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Tested-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Egbert did test it on a bunch of machines too. Egbert, can you give your
Tested-by: too please?

Thanks Diego!
Thanks guys!

You bet!

Sure. I'll send v2 out later with Borislav's Acked-by/Tested-by and
Egbert's Tested-by.

@Diego: May I have your Tested-by, too?

Sure, only if I haven't to pay ;-)
