[Bug 1577629] [NEW] Problems with gpe06 interrupt storm on a 2016 Macbook Pro

 

Public bug reported:

I also reported this upstream
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117481), just reporting
this here so that the upstream fix does not get lost in the noise:

Symptoms:

- With a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 (but also occurs using the live CD/USB) on a 2016 Macbook Pro (hardware version MacBookPro11,2) CPU core is 80-90% pegged with kworker:
12772 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  84,1  0,0  15:37.79 kworker/0:6

- When doing grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/ I see a lot of interrupts on gpe06:
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe06:222309848   enabled

- Disabling gpe06 frees up the core without any noticeable side-effects:
# echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe06

I put the above in the root crontab with @reboot which solved the
problem for me for now.
