commitcb6b1b0fb2upstream. The ACPI_TYPE_STRING case explicitly skips the string conversion for elem == ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS: if (elem != PREREQUISITES && elem != ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS) { ret = hp_convert_hexstr_to_str(..., &str_value, &value_len); if (ret) continue; } so by the time the ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS case in the eloc switch runs, str_value is NULL (it was freed and reset to NULL at the end of the previous iteration). That case then does: ret = hp_convert_hexstr_to_str(str_value, value_len, &tmpstr, &tmp_len); hp_convert_hexstr_to_str() rejects a NULL input with -EINVAL, which sends this function to exit_list, and exit_list unconditionally returns 0. The net effect is that any ordered-list attribute with elements present silently ends up with an empty elements list, with no error surfaced anywhere. Fix by converting the current element directly, order_obj[elem], the same way the PREREQUISITES case already handles its own array elements, instead of reusing the unrelated str_value/value_len left over from earlier processing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
