Subject: Regression: BUG when battery is removed before resuming from hibernation

I found this bug 2.6.34 on my Asus EeePC 701 (x86_32 arch).  It didn't 
happen to me before, when I was running nearly-2.6.33 or 2.6.32-release.

I used git-bisect, but unfortunately the result isn't very helpful.  My 
next step will be to try to narrowing down the culprits by disabling 
individual CONFIG options.  Here are my results so far, in case anyone 
is interested.


== Steps to reproduce ==

I) Boot off mains power, with battery removed.  Login to KDE4 session, 
with Konsole as the only running application.
II) Run "sudo pm-hibernate"

1. When the system switches to text mode (a.k.a the console), 
immediately insert the battery.
2. Once the system has fully hibernated, remove the battery.
3. Press the power button to resume.  The backtrace below is generated 
during resume.


== git-bisect result ==

I don't think it is 100% reproducible.  So during bisection, I tested 
each kernel 3 times.  I tested the "last known good" kernel an 
additional 9 times, and the result held.  It seemed like a solid result.

First bad commit:
v2.6.34-rc3-310-g975f8c5
"drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: fix 'key f70f4b50 not in .data' in 
thermal_sys"

Last known good (only parent of above):
v2.6.34-rc3-309-g829f46a


== git-bisect result is useless ==

The "bad" commit can easily be reverted from v2.6.34 (there were no 
subsequent changes to thermal_sys.c).  But that doesn't fix the problem.

I should be able to avoid the altered codepaths by disabling all my 
thermal devices - blacklisting the ACPI processor and thermal modules.  
This leaves me with an empty /sys/class/thermal/.  If I do this on the 
"good" kernel, it successfully avoids the lockdep usage backtrace which 
the "bad" commit is designed to fix.  But if I do this on the "bad" 
kernel, I can still reproduce the BUG message.

It's harder to disable thermal_sys itself, because it's required by ACPI 
video, which is required for I915 w/KMS.  If I disable all these in the 
kernel .config, the "bad" commit is still bad, but the "good" one is now 
bad as well.



== BUG / Backtrace message ==

The BUG looks a bit like a double-free in the power supply class or the 
ACPI battery driver.  (6b6b6b6b is apparently the SLAB poison used to 
mark memory which has been freed).
