Description Andriy Gapon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-07-06 17:40:06 UTC 
Currently value for sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate is not validated in any way.
So a user can potentially assign a zero or a negative value to it.
This could lead to undesired effects when hz * acpi_tz_polling_rate is used as a parameter
to msleep().
