IPMI: add polled interface

2007-10-18T21:37:32+00:00

Currently the IPMI watchdog timer sets the watchdog timeout on a panic, but it
doesn't actually poll the interface to make sure the message goes out.

Add an interface for polling the IPMI driver, and add code to the IPMI
watchdog timer to poll the interface when the timer is set from a panic.

[PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance mode

2006-12-07T16:39:47+00:00

Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a
while.  This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that
nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad
things to happen when in firmware update mode.

Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds.  It also add a
manual override either way.

[PATCH] IPMI: per-channel command registration

2006-10-01T07:39:23+00:00

This patch adds the ability to register for a command per-channel in the
IPMI driver.

If your BMC supports multiple channels, incoming messages can be useful to
have the ability to register to receive commands on a specific channel
instead the current behaviour of all channels.

[PATCH] drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: make proc_ipmi_root static

2006-06-28T00:32:48+00:00

Make struct proc_ipmi_root static.

Besides this, tremove removes an unused #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS from
include/linux/ipmi.h.

[PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support

2006-03-26T16:56:56+00:00

Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver.  It links in the proper
bus and device support.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device).  These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
 If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry.  The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou.  I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

[PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handler

2005-11-07T15:53:43+00:00

This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change.  This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release.  There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).

The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use.  This is bad from a number of points of view.  This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

[PATCH] ipmi: fix panic ipmb response

2005-09-07T23:57:48+00:00

The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic
situations to handle messages.  It was only designed to work with messages
from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get
messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then
panic.  This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more
general so it works with any kind of message.

[PATCH] ipmi: allow userland to include ipmi.h

2005-09-07T23:57:48+00:00

The IPMI driver include file needs to include compiler.h so it has definitions
for __user and such.

[PATCH] ipmi: add per-channel IPMB addresses

2005-09-07T23:57:47+00:00

IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel
might have a different IPMB address.  However, the driver has only one IPMB
address that it uses for everything.  This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new
internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs.  New
systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are
broken without this patch.
