Hi,

one openSUSE's user reported that with 6.10, he sees one CPU under an
IRQ storm from ACPI (sci_interrupt):

At:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1229085

6.9 was OK.

With acpi.debug_level=0x08000000 acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff, there is a
repeated load of:
evgpe-0673 ev_detect_gpe : Read registers for GPE 6D:
Status=20, Enable=00, RunEnable=4A, WakeEnable=00

0x6d seems to count excessively (10 snapshots every 1 second):

Any ideas?

GPE 6D is listed in _PRW for some devices, so maybe one of them
continues to trigger wakeup events?


Disabling powertop service (which calls /usr/sbin/powertop --auto-tune) solves problem completely. After some search I have found this is the cause:

# kernel 6.9.9 is immune

You can ask the reporter to mask that GPE via "echo mask >
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6D" and see if the storm goes away
then.

The only ACPI core issue introduced between 6.9 and 6.10 I'm aware of
is the one addressed by this series

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/22385894.EfDdHjke4D@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

but this is about the EC and the problem here doesn't appear to be
EC-related. It may be worth trying anyway, though.
