ipmi: Reset the KCS timeout when starting error recovery

2014-06-06T09:40:22+00:00

commit eb6d78ec213e6938559b801421d64714dafcf4b2 upstream.

The OBF timer in KCS was not reset in one situation when error recovery
was started, resulting in an immediate timeout.

ipmi: Fix a race restarting the timer

2014-05-05T11:39:23+00:00

commit 48e8ac2979920ffa39117e2d725afa3a749bfe8d upstream.

With recent changes it is possible for the timer handler to detect an
idle interface and not start the timer, but the thread to start an
operation at the same time.  The thread will not start the timer in that
instance, resulting in the timer not running.

Instead, move all timer operations under the lock and start the timer in
the thread if it detect non-idle and the timer is not already running.
Moving under locks allows the last timeout to be set in both the thread
and the timer.  'Timer is not running' means that the timer is not
pending and smi_timeout() is not running.  So we need a flag to detect
this correctly.

Also fix a few other timeout bugs: setting the last timeout when the
interrupt has to be disabled and the timer started, and setting the last
timeout in check_start_timer_thread possibly racing with the timer

Char: ipmi_bt_sm, fix infinite loop

2014-04-18T08:26:21+00:00

commit a94cdd1f4d30f12904ab528152731fb13a812a16 upstream.

In read_all_bytes, we do

  unsigned char i;
  ...
  bt->read_data[0] = BMC2HOST;
  bt->read_count = bt->read_data[0];
  ...
  for (i = 1; i <= bt->read_count; i++)
    bt->read_data[i] = BMC2HOST;

If bt->read_data[0] == bt->read_count == 255, we loop infinitely in the
'for' loop.  Make 'i' an 'int' instead of 'char' to get rid of the
overflow and finish the loop after 255 iterations every time.

BMC support for PARISC machines

2013-09-05T15:34:32+00:00

The last line of PARISC machines (C8000, RP34x0, etc.) have a BMC for
controlling temperature, fan speed and other stuff.  The BMC is
connected via a special bus and listed in the firmware device tree.
This change adds support for these BMCs to the IPMI driver.

Add MODULE_ALIAS for autoloading ipmi driver on ACPI systems

2013-09-05T15:34:32+00:00

I'd submitted this about a year ago but it never made it upstream.

The latest versions of the kernel drivers for ipmi can use ACPI to
determine the type of BMC device used in the system.  The following
patch adds a module alias so that udev will autoload the ipmi_si driver.

ipmi: Initialize locals to avoid warning

2013-09-05T15:34:31+00:00

A couple of variables were getting warnings about being uninitialized.
It was a false warning, but initialize them, anyway.

ipmi: ipmi_devintf: compat_ioctl method fails to take ipmi_mutex

2013-05-16T20:49:25+00:00

When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the
ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex.  This results in
incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures.
Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

ipmi: Improve error messages on failed irq enable

2013-05-16T20:49:25+00:00

When the interrupt enable message returns an error, the messages are
not entirely accurate nor helpful.  So improve them.
