Unwanted delayed execution of _Qxx EC methods
From: Gabriele Mazzotta
Date: Thu Mar 05 2015 - 12:20:32 EST
Hi,
I'd like to report a minor issue I have with the ACPI embedded controller
driver. My laptop (XPS13 9333) has two function keys to control the
screen brightness. When pressed, two _Qxx ACPI methods are called, one
to increase and one to decrease the brightness. Both the methods sleep
for 200ms.
This pause of 200ms is causing some problems when I keep one of the
function keys pressed. In this situation, more queries than needed
are scheduled for a delayed execution, making the screen brightness
change even after the function key is released.
Here below you can see some log lines that show the problem.
If I keep the function key pressed for X seconds, it will take roughly
2X seconds for all the queries to be executed.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks,
Gabriele
