* [PATCH 0/2] Parse multiple duplicate WMI GUIDs @ 2017-12-09 2:34 Mario Limonciello 2017-12-09 2:34 ` [PATCH 1/2] platform/x86: wmi: prefix sysfs files in /sys/bus/wmi with the ACPI device Mario Limonciello 2017-12-09 2:34 ` [PATCH 2/2] platform/x86: wmi: Allow creating WMI devices with the same GUID Mario Limonciello 0 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Mario Limonciello @ 2017-12-09 2:34 UTC (permalink / raw) To: dvhart, Andy Shevchenko Cc: LKML, platform-driver-x86, Andy Lutomirski, Mario Limonciello I recently discovered that multiple instances of the WMI BMOF GUID are present on some machines with more advanced WMI implementations. Only the first found instance is parsed today with the rest ignored. The rest of the instances should be readable by the wmi-bmof driver (and userspace) to allow improving any parsing implementations. Andy L. indicated he thought fixing this should require changing the WMI driver to no longer track a block list of devices, but I don't think that's necessary. The only significant change is that the WMI bus will need to build the symlinks in /sys/bus/wmi/devices in a way to prevent clashes with multiple devices sharing the same GUID. The most obvious solution (and that which I implemented) is to include the ACPI device associated with the GUID. Since this is a symlink and the actual path remains stable I don't know if that's considered changing a userspace interface. If so, then an alternative would be to append a number when a second instance of a GUID has been discovered and keep the "old" symlink path for the first instance stable.

Yep, but the symlink created in /sys/bus/wmi/devices isn't. That's where the kernel complains about duplicate sysfs attributes.

Greg, is there a cleaner way to deal with this? There are two instances of the same bus type, each of which would like to have a device called "70FE8229-D03B-4214-A1C6-1F884B1A892A".

At the time no one understood why GUID 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 was being duplicated. It's now known that GUID is used for the binary MOF file of a _WDG entry in the ASL. It's entirely possible for multiple _WDG entries and for multiple instances to bind in a given driver. NOTE: The only known instance of duplicated GUID's is the WMI BMOF GUID above, but it is possible that other vendors may duplicate GUIDs as well.

I think you also need to audit all the users of wmi_block_list for duplicate handling.
