[PATCH 2/2] ACPI: Fix boot problem related to APEI with acpi_disabled set

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sun Jan 16 2011 - 14:46:03 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Commit 415e12b (PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root
bridge (v3)) put the acpi_hest_init() call in acpi_pci_root_init()
into a wrong place, presumably because the author confused
acpi_pci_disabled with acpi_disabled. Bring the code ordering in
acpi_pci_root_init() back to sanity.

Additionally, make sure that hest_disable is set when acpi_disabled
is set, which is going to prevent acpi_hest_parse(), that still may
be executed for acpi_disabled=1 through aer_acpi_firmware_first(),
from crashing because of uninitialized hest_tab.
