That patch is part of a series that was not pulled for 6.0 as far as I can tell it is currently in the for-next branch of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … rs-x86.git so should be part of linux 6.1.
Did reverting 87d0e2f41b8cc2018499be4e8003fa8c09b6f2f not help restore battery level reporting to the same state as in 5.18?

Ok thanks i will wait for 6.1

I didn't test that because i have been busy with some stuff and i don't know when i will have time to test it
so for now im just using lts

I tested your gdrive compilations 5.19.4 kernel but level reporting is not working yet.

Can you remember which of the builds was the first with the issue? I assume the 5.18 build did not have the issue?

Yes, I remember. The build actually is 5.18.16. In my case I use zen kernel.

Either you misunderstood loqs or you might be facing an entirely different problem w/ similar symptoms.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=119502

Is 5.18.16 a good or (the first) bad version?

DodoGTA · 2022-08-29 08:54:04

It looks like that the asus_ec_sensors module causes the battery issue on 5.19+ (I blocklisted it and my system works fine now)

I'm actually typing on this system right now (unplugged of course) and the battery percentage keeps going down

mohdforever · 2022-08-29 12:03:40

how to apply the kernel patch for asus ec sensor

my machine is asus tuf 2021
my kernel is xanmod 5.19

can you show your configuration about asus_ec_module?

seems you can just use kernel parameter: `modprobe.blacklist=asus_ec_sensors` or place `blacklist asus_ec_sensors` in /etc/modprobe.d/asus_ec_sensors.conf

On that note, it looks like the asus_ec_sensors module locks the ACPI mutex when loaded, which explains all the issues...as to why it happens to begin with is yet to be concluded since the module doesnt appear to load....at least it isnt present in lsmod

EDIT: maybe it doesnt have to fully load but be attempted to load, and then fails to unlock the mutex

Did the issue start with 5.19 on your system? If so why not try the bisection kernels to find which commit introduced it?

yes it did, the commit is probably this https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … bc1ff53d14

cradlemann · 2022-08-29 20:07:55

I can confirm after blacklisting asus_ec_sensors everything works correctly on 5.19.5 kernel

Now it works well
Thank you!

5.18.16 was the last good version. Anything >= 5.19 doesn't work. I haven't tried patches from other people in this thread, but I did decide to try linux-zen just for fun, and it provided similar results. Right now I still am on the LTS kernel.

seth · 2022-08-30 13:37:01

Ok, so you didn't answer loqs' question, however w/ the recent findings that's now moot.
Try to blacklist asus_ec_module and see whether that "fixes" it. If so, you're in the same boat as everyone else in this thread.

Me too, blacklisted that module is a valid workaround but the question is:

What problem is the consecuence?

My CPU is now 90 celsius in gamming.

I can relate for my huawei matebook 14 intel version. Blacklisting the asus module fix the issue

`blacklist asus_ec_sensors` in /etc/modprobe.d/asus_ec_sensors.conf works on 5.19.3.

For those who want a recent kernel without the problems use the linux-g14 from the g14 repo dont use the one in the aur
