I was thinking about it, but there is problem, that userspace can also update/change BIOS auto mode. Process with CAP_SYS_RAWIO can use sys_iopl(3) or sys_ioperm() which allows it access to I/O ports. There are already different i8k* userspace tools which do that. And once userspace change BIOS auto mode, then cached value in kernel does not have to be correct and can confuse other applications which use standard hwmon interface (not direct I/O ports). And value '0' is already defined in hwmon API as: "no fan speed control (i.e. fan at full speed)" > > By default BIOS auto mode is enabled by laptop firmware. > > > > When BIOS auto mode is enabled, custom fan speed value (set via > > hwmon pwmX sysfs attribute) is overwritten by SMM in few seconds > > and therefore any custom settings are without effect.

In Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface is written: pwm[1-*]_enable 2+: automatic fan speed control enabled And this reason why my patch accept also other numeric values.

Which modes are actually supported, and what those modes mean, is then commonly described in the driver documentation. It does not mean (or is not supposed to mean) that random values shall be accepted. Of course that assumes that a driver documentation actually exists, which AFAICS is not the case for dell-smm-hwmon. Maybe it would make sense to add one ?

Can you check what i8k_enable_fan_auto_mode() returns? Error code or not?

If you want, you can try to play with dellfan source code [1]. There is e.g. in comment specified two methods for disabling that BIOS thermal automode [2]. Looks like second method is that which I implemented in patch... [1] - https://github.com/clopez/dellfan [2] - https://github.com/clopez/dellfan/blob/master/dellfan.c#L64

This patch exports standard hwmon pwmX_enable sysfs attribute for enabling or disabling automatic fan control by BIOS. Standard value "1" is for disabling automatic BIOS fan control and value "2" for enabling. Currently there is no way to check if BIOS auto mode is enabled (at least it is not know how to do it), so hwmon sysfs attribute is write-only. By default BIOS auto mode is enabled by laptop firmware. When BIOS auto mode is enabled, custom fan speed value (set via hwmon pwmX sysfs attribute) is overwritten by SMM in few seconds and therefore any custom settings are without effect. So this is reason why implementing option for disabling BIOS auto mode is needed. So finally this patch allows kernel to set and control fan speed on laptops, but it can be dangerous (like setting speed of other fans). This new feature is highly experimental, uses Dell SMM calls, so does not have to be supported by all laptops BIOSes. It was tested on Dell Latitude E6440 with BIOS A5.
