Here's the call path:
[ 16.120824] [<ffffffff81627e6c>] dump_stack+0x55/0x76
[ 16.125979] [<ffffffff8162132e>] enable_slot+0x4ee/0x5e0
[ 16.131396] [<ffffffff813418fb>] ? trim_stale_devices+0x5b/0xf0
[ 16.137420] [<ffffffff81341b35>] acpiphp_check_bridge+0xd5/0x110
[ 16.143531] [<ffffffff81342acb>] hotplug_event+0x16b/0x260
[ 16.149115] [<ffffffff81072cd9>] ? process_one_work+0x189/0x540
[ 16.155136] [<ffffffff81342bf0>] hotplug_event_work+0x30/0x70
[ 16.160978] [<ffffffff81072d3b>] process_one_work+0x1eb/0x540
[ 16.166819] [<ffffffff81072cd9>] ? process_one_work+0x189/0x540
[ 16.172836] [<ffffffff8107353c>] worker_thread+0x11c/0x370
[ 16.178426] [<ffffffff81073420>] ? rescuer_thread+0x350/0x350
[ 16.184276] [<ffffffff8107b0ea>] kthread+0xea/0xf0
[ 16.189165] [<ffffffff8107b000>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x160/0x160
[ 16.195700] [<ffffffff816395dc>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
[ 16.201109] [<ffffffff8107b000>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x160/0x160
The actual death of the serial console occurs in acpi_device_set_power()
called from:
enable_slot()
acpiphp_bus_add()
acpiphp_bus_trim()
acpi_bus_trim()
acpi_walk_namespace()
acpi_bus_remove()
acpi_device_unregister()
acpi_device_set_power()
I can't seem to get a path from the acpi devices in question there, so I
have no idea what's getting trimmed here. It worries me quite a bit by
introducing this trimming that apparently wasn't happening before
though. Thanks,
Alex
