    Meaningless, because I said it just the same. You claimed that I didn't and I have proven to have said it 7 days ago, deal with it.

      (second request)

      One more thing .. While this issue was being bisected for months, at what point was the kernel team engaged to help identify or correct the issue?

      Searching lKML seems to indicate that this "regression" hasn't been reported yet. When will Michael take his findings to the kernel team?

      After another 25 articles about it perhaps?

        Go ahead and re-read those entire threads. NOTHING is out of context.

        Yes, It has been proven now, and you'll find that I'm not disagreeing with that. It however only impacts a very small subset of systems.
        First of all you did not say "only impacts a very small subset of systems." You said "it doesn't exist". I pointed out to you back then that saying "it doesn't exits" because of you not experiencing it wasn't valid. So who fired the first shot?

        The reports are useless, if you can't or are unwilling to see that then I would question anything else that you have to say in relation to the issue.

        I haven't missed any concept. To imply that I have shows that you either don't understand my comments, or that you are too arrogant to admit that I might be right.

        Either way, it's your problem.
        I asked several times for the evidence to prove that it was real, you can't discount that, nor can you prove that I hadn't asked for it. Since April.

        Actually your very first post told people to "Time to let it go and move on, or actually spend time finding the problem instead of writing articles about it." which Michael did. He spent his own time and money isolating it down.


        Oh I see. I provide sufficient evidence to show that this "major" regression is at most minor (see link above to the original post), and continue to argue against the non-proven bug is trolling? You have trolled every single one of my comments here, it seems that is your specialty.
        Non proven? In the very same post you say it is proven.

          7 days ago is after the article was published. The article was written on the 26th of June. So you have proven that hindsight is indeed 20-20.

            Comprehension isn't your strong suit. I implied that the context was provided by the threads.

            I did, because until it was proven to exist, it didn't exist. Now, I am saying that it only impacts a very small subset of devices which is true .. per the commit.

            I gave Michael the benefit of the doubt for months (which you can find me quoted as saying).

            That's not my very first post. My very first post was this one:



            Where I said, and I quote:

            I don't know that I would call this a kernel regression, as the kernel doesn't dynamically change parameters based on applied power state. That's what you need something like Jupiter for..

            In that thread I also show two distinctly different platforms and how they don't show any symptom of the bug.

            In my very first post I said I wouldn't call it a regression, I neither confirmed nor denied the existence of the bug.

            If you follow the initial conversation fully, you'll have the context that sets up the rest of my comments on the matter across all of the related threads (which really says there are too many articles, and not enough action which was and remains my chief complaint). You'll also find several comments where I helped people check for kernel options needed test to determine if they have this "bug".

              It doesn't prove anything. Prove that I read the article before commenting. I don't read Phoronix every day, and hadn't even noticed this article until July 1st.

                  I can comprehend fine. I can comprehend that you were speculating through out the whole time and later tried to offer an absolute answer that "it does not exist" and despite being pointed out that because you could not replicate it and had your own theory you were unwilling to accept that it did exist until after the article was published. BTW it is not as small of a subset as you think it is. Does it effect 100% of systems, absolutely not but I would wager that it effects a minimum of 5% of the systems out there if not more.

                    You are the one that offered it as "proof". All it proves it that you posted it post article.

                      I was unwilling to accept that it existed until it was proven to exist based on my applied testing that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it didn't impact the portable computers that I tested it on. There is nothing wrong with that, in theory or in practice.

                      No no, you have to consider all of my comments, not just what you choose to use.

                      My very first comment in relation to this "regression" was in April, it isn't too much to ask for to ask for the bug to be identified a few months later.
