gpiolib: acpi: Disable edge events on boot on ASUS ROG Strix G16 G614PP

[PATCH] gpiolib: acpi: Disable edge events on boot on ASUS ROG Strix G16 G614PP

Posted by francesco.lauritano1@protonmail.com 1 month, 3 weeks ago

From: Francesco Lauritano <francesco.lauritano1@protonmail.com>

On the ASUS ROG Strix G16 G614PP (2025), the kernel can stall for ~36
seconds during late init in acpi_gpio_handle_deferred_request_irqs().

Booting with gpiolib_acpi.run_edge_events_on_boot=0 avoids the stall and
restores normal boot times.

Add a DMI quirk to disable edge events on boot by default on this model.

Okay but it might just accidentally "work" and hides the real issue. Doing
things like this blindly might end up breaking something that relies on
that _AEI.

Can you post full dmesg and acpipdump somewhere so we can try to figure out
what is going on?

Hi Mika,

Thanks for looking into this. Happy to dig deeper.

Here are the requested dumps (boot with initcall_debug, no workaround):

dmesg: https://gist.github.com/kylan11/63ec3ec319cd6bcaa043fa0b1366965a

acpidump: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/kylan11/7956bbf75714265107f0886f6ed2a381/raw/1614845eb1dc6ab7e2effb6fe56b585a746abe4f/gistfile1.txt

Some quick notes:
- The AMD GPIO controller probes successfully (LINE 2077)

- The hang occurs in the deferred IRQ handler (line 2960)

- There are some ACPI errors around 0.285373 to 0.289806, though they complete quickly

- After the 36-second hang, everything else initializes normally. 
touchpad, audio, wifi, nvidia GPU all work fine.

The ACPI tables show there's a _AEI method under \_SB_GPIO. Not sure if those
unresolved GPP2/GPP7 references are related to what's blocking the deferred
IRQ handler, or if it's something else entirely.

Let me know if you need anything else or want me to test something specific.

Thanks,
Francesco

(Usually we also use `ignore_loglevel`, but I think dmesg should have it anyway.)

This looks like related to USB4 (thubderbolt) dock? Mika, does it look familiar?

Not sure what this means. Maybe better tag like Closes should be used?

This is implied that the author of the patch tested it before sending.
