This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ACPICA: DeRefOf operator: Update to fully resolve FieldUnit and to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.13. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 2415da8f65960e9816fe611a62f751d7770222fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 09:09:41 +0800 Subject: ACPICA: DeRefOf operator: Update to fully resolve FieldUnit and BufferField refs. commit 63660e05ec719613b518547b40a1c501c10f0bc4 upstream. Previously, references to these objects were resolved only to the actual FieldUnit or BufferField object. The correct behavior is to resolve these references to an actual value. The problem is that DerefOf did not resolve these objects to actual values. An "Integer" object is simple, return the value. But a field in an operation region will require a read operation. For a BufferField, the appropriate data must be extracted from the parent buffer. NOTE: It appears that this issues is present in Windows7 but not Windows8.
