| |
From: Petr Vandrovec <petr@vmware.com>
When processor is being hot-added to the system, acpi_map_lsapic invokes ACPI _MAT method to find APIC ID and flags, verifies that returned structure is indeed ACPI's local APIC structure, and that flags contain MADT_ENABLED bit. Then saves APIC ID, frees structure - and accesses structure when computing arguments for acpi_register_lapic call. Which sometime leads to acpi_register_lapic call being made with second argument zero, failing to bring processor online with error 'Unable to map lapic to logical cpu number'.
As lapic->lapic_flags & ACPI_MADT_ENABLED was already confirmed to be non-zero few lines above, we can just pass unconditional ACPI_MADT_ENABLED to the acpi_register_lapic.
