ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup

2016-01-25T14:15:42+00:00

commit 27f972d3e00b50639deb4cc1392afaeb08d3cecc upstream.

We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.

static int smi_start_processing(void       *send_info,
                                ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
        /* Try to claim any interrupts. */
        if (new_smi->irq_setup)
                new_smi->irq_setup(new_smi);

 --> IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer

    which triggers BUG_ON(!timer->function) in __mod_timer().

 Call Trace:
   
   [] start_new_msg+0x47/0x80 [ipmi_si]
   [] start_check_enables+0x4e/0x60 [ipmi_si]

        /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */
        setup_timer(&new_smi->si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi);

The following patch fixes the problem.

ipmi: fix timeout calculation when bmc is disconnected

2015-08-19T06:36:51+00:00

commit e21404dc0ac7ac971c1e36274b48bb460463f4e5 upstream.

Loading ipmi_si module while bmc is disconnected, we found the timeout
is longer than 5 secs.  Actually it takes about 3 mins and 20
secs.(HZ=250)

error message as below:
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ] 1 retries left
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: BT: write 4 bytes seq=0x01 03 18 00 01
  [...]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: failed 2 retries, sending error response
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI: BT reset (takes 5 secs)
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: flag reset [ ]

Function wait_for_msg_done() use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) to
sleep 1 tick, so we should subtract jiffies_to_usecs(1) instead of 100
usecs from timeout.

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.
