commit 6cf1a126de2992b4efe1c3c4d398f8de4aed6e3f upstream.

Kmemleak reported the following leak info in try_smi_init():

unreferenced object 0xffff00018ecf9400 (size 1024):

The problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration
and after allocating `new_smi-&gt;si_sm`, the variable wouldn't be freed in
the error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn't been
registered yet. Fix it by adding a `kfree()` in the error handling path
in `try_smi_init()`.

commit 383035211c79d4d98481a09ad429b31c7dbf22bd upstream.

V1-&gt;V2: in handle_one_rcv_msg, if data_size &gt; 2, set requeue to zero and
        goto out instead of calling ipmi_free_msg.
        Kosuke Tatsukawa &lt;tatsu@ab.jp.nec.com&gt;

In the source stack trace below, function set_need_watch tries to
take out the same si_lock that was taken earlier by ipmi_thread.

ipmi_thread() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:995]
 smi_event_handler() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:765]
  handle_transaction_done() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:555]

       set_need_watch() [drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1066]

Upstream commit e1891cffd4c4896a899337a243273f0e23c028df adds code to
ipmi_smi_msg_received() to call smi_remove_watch() via intf_err_seq()
and this seems to be causing the deadlock.

    ipmi: Make the smi watcher be disabled immediately when not needed

The fix is to put all messages in the queue and move the message
checking code out of ipmi_smi_msg_received and into handle_one_recv_msg,
which processes the message checking after ipmi_thread releases its
locks.

Additionally,Kosuke Tatsukawa &lt;tatsu@ab.jp.nec.com&gt; reported that
handle_new_recv_msgs calls ipmi_free_msg when handle_one_rcv_msg returns
zero, so that the call to ipmi_free_msg in handle_one_rcv_msg introduced
another panic when "ipmitool sensor list" was run in a loop. He
submitted this part of the patch.

+free_msg:
+               requeue = 0;
+               goto out;

commit e1891cffd4c4896a899337a243273f0e23c028df upstream.

The code to tell the lower layer to enable or disable watching for
certain things was lazy in disabling, it waited until a timer tick
to see if a disable was necessary.  Not a really big deal, but it
could be improved.

Modify the code to enable and disable watching immediately and don't
do it from the background timer any more.

[ Upstream commit 6d2555cde2918409b0331560e66f84a0ad4849c6 ]

The ipmi communication is not restored after a specific version of BMC is
upgraded on our server.
The ipmi driver does not respond after printing the following log:

    ipmi_ssif: Invalid response getting flags: 1c 1

I found that after entering this branch, ssif_info-&gt;ssif_state always
holds SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS and never return to IDLE.

As a result, the driver cannot be loaded, because the driver status is
checked during the unload process and must be IDLE in shutdown_ssif():

        while (ssif_info-&gt;ssif_state != SSIF_IDLE)
                schedule_timeout(1);

The process trigger this problem is:

1. One msg timeout and next msg start send, and call
ssif_set_need_watch().

2. ssif_set_need_watch()-&gt;watch_timeout()-&gt;start_flag_fetch() change
ssif_state to SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS.

3. In msg_done_handler() ssif_state == SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS, if an error
message is received, the second branch does not modify the ssif_state.

4. All retry action need IS_SSIF_IDLE() == True. Include retry action in
watch_timeout(), msg_done_handler(). Sending msg does not work either.
SSIF_IDLE is also checked in start_next_msg().

5. The only thing that can be triggered in the SSIF driver is
watch_timeout(), after destory_user(), this timer will stop too.

So, if enter this branch, the ssif_state will remain SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS
and can't send msg, no timer started, can't unload.

We did a comparative test before and after adding this patch, and the
result is effective.

[ Upstream commit c65ea996595005be470fbfa16711deba414fd33b ]

The IPMI driver has a mechanism to tell the lower layers it needs
to watch for messages, commands, and watchdogs (so it doesn't
needlessly poll).  However, it needed some extensions, it needed
a way to tell what is being waited for so it could set the timeout
appropriately.

The update to the lower layer was also being done once a second
at best because it was done in the main timeout handler.  However,
if a command is sent and a response message is coming back,
it needed to be started immediately.  So modify the code to
update immediately if it needs to be enabled.  Disable is still
lazy.

[ Upstream commit c65ea996595005be470fbfa16711deba414fd33b ]

The IPMI driver has a mechanism to tell the lower layers it needs
to watch for messages, commands, and watchdogs (so it doesn't
needlessly poll).  However, it needed some extensions, it needed
a way to tell what is being waited for so it could set the timeout
appropriately.

The update to the lower layer was also being done once a second
at best because it was done in the main timeout handler.  However,
if a command is sent and a response message is coming back,
it needed to be started immediately.  So modify the code to
update immediately if it needs to be enabled.  Disable is still
lazy.

[ Upstream commit a1466ec5b671651b848df17fc9233ecbb7d35f9f ]

Commit 89986496de141 ("ipmi: Turn off all activity on an idle ipmi
interface") modified the IPMI code to only request events when the
driver had somethine waiting for events.  The SSIF code, however,
was using the event fetch request to also fetch the flags.

Add a timer and the proper handling for the upper layer telling
whether flags fetches are required.

commit a92ce570c81dc0feaeb12a429b4bc65686d17967 upstream.

The intf_free() function frees the "intf" pointer so we cannot
dereference it again on the next line.

<title>ipmi: fix long wait in unload when IPMI disconnect</title>

commit f6f1234d98cce69578bfac79df147a1f6660596c upstream.

When fixing the problem mentioned in PATCH1, we also found
the following problem:

If the IPMI is disconnected and in the sending process, the
uninstallation driver will be stuck for a long time.

The main problem is that uninstalling the driver waits for curr_msg to
be sent or HOSED. After stopping tasklet, the only place to trigger the
timeout mechanism is the circular poll in shutdown_smi.

The poll function delays 10us and calls smi_event_handler(smi_info,10).
Smi_event_handler deducts 10us from kcs-&gt;ibf_timeout.

But the poll func is followed by schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1).
The time consumed here is not counted in kcs-&gt;ibf_timeout.

So when 10us is deducted from kcs-&gt;ibf_timeout, at least 1 jiffies has
actually passed. The waiting time has increased by more than a
hundredfold.

Now instead of calling poll(). call smi_event_handler() directly and
calculate the elapsed time.

For verification, you can directly use ebpf to check the kcs-&gt;
ibf_timeout for each call to kcs_event() when IPMI is disconnected.
Decrement at normal rate before unloading. The decrement rate becomes
very slow after unloading.

  $ bpftrace -e 'kprobe:kcs_event {printf("kcs-&gt;ibftimeout : %d\n",
      *(arg0+584));}'

[ Upstream commit 36992eb6b9b83f7f9cdc8e74fb5799d7b52e83e9 ]

After the IPMI disconnect problem, the memory kept rising and we tried
to unload the driver to free the memory. However, only part of the
free memory is recovered after the driver is uninstalled. Using
ebpf to hook free functions, we find that neither ipmi_user nor
ipmi_smi_msg is free, only ipmi_recv_msg is free.

We find that the deliver_smi_err_response call in clean_smi_msgs does
the destroy processing on each message from the xmit_msg queue without
checking the return value and free ipmi_smi_msg.

deliver_smi_err_response is called only at this location. Adding the
free handling has no effect.

To verify, try using ebpf to trace the free function.

  $ bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_recv_msg {printf("alloc rcv
      %p\n",retval);} kprobe:free_recv_msg {printf("free recv %p\n",
      arg0)} kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_smi_msg {printf("alloc smi %p\n",
        retval);} kprobe:free_smi_msg {printf("free smi  %p\n",arg0)}'
