[Cpufreqd-devel] Fixing current_now issue and segfault

[Bernd R. <bb...@ri...>]

Hi,

This email is in response to Burt's email from March 2011. The issue
that Burt reports is also documented in:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpufreqd/+bug/733507

There are actually two bugs in cpufreqd_acpi_battery.c:

1. acpi_battery_update() doesn't check whether a battery is open or not.
This causes the segmentation fault when it tries to access closed
battery attributes.

2. acpi_battery_init() doesn't know about that attribute current_now has
been replaced by power_now in recent kernels.

Both bugs are fixed with the patch attached to this comment. I've
provided the same patch and information to the Ubuntu bug-tracker on
launchpad.

Cheers,

Bernd
