Subject: RE: [PATCH v2 1/3] ACPI: Resolve objects on host-directed table
 loads

It looks to me that the package objects are being initialized properly already, unless I'm missing something. Please check the examples below and in the attached files.

Attached is a small test case that dynamically loads an SSDT which contains a package object which in turn contains references to other objects.


Main DSDT:
    Method (LD1)
    {
        Load (BUF1, HNDL)      // SSDT is in BUF1
        Store (HNDL, Debug)
        Return
    }   

Loaded table:
    External (DEV1, DeviceObj)
    Name (PKG1, Package() {
        1,2, DEV2, DEV1, 4})
    Device (DEV2) {}


AcpiExec Output:
- ev ld1
