From a3df4dadd446c0d7195f2bbe86dd5174426d8090 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:06:43 +0400 Subject: ACPICA: Update behavior of CopyObject to match ACPI spec Fixed a problem where a CopyObject to RegionField, BankField, and IndexField objects did not perform an implicit conversion as it should. These types must retain their initial type permanently as per the ACPI specification. However, a CopyObject to all other object types should not perform an implicit conversion, as per the ACPI specification. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=388 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/executer/exstore.c | 15 +++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/acpi') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/executer/exstore.c b/drivers/acpi/executer/exstore.c index 725614e277f8..36c0fccb137a 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/executer/exstore.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/executer/exstore.c @@ -603,10 +603,17 @@ acpi_ex_store_object_to_node(union acpi_operand_object *source_desc, /* If no implicit conversion, drop into the default case below */ - if ((!implicit_conversion) || (walk_state->opcode == AML_COPY_OP)) { - - /* Force execution of default (no implicit conversion) */ - + if ((!implicit_conversion) || + ((walk_state->opcode == AML_COPY_OP) && + (target_type != ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_REGION_FIELD) && + (target_type != ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_BANK_FIELD) && + (target_type != ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_INDEX_FIELD))) { + /* + * Force execution of default (no implicit conversion).
