ipmi: Clear drvdata when interface is removed

2014-10-07T17:22:32Z

This patch fixes a bug on hotmod removing. After ipmi interface is removed using hotmod, kernel panic occurs when rmmod impi_si. For example, try this: # echo "remove,"`cat /proc/ipmi/0/params` > \ /sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod # rmmod ipmi_si Then, rmmod fails with the following messages. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 10819 at /mnt/repos/linux/lib/list_debug.c:53 __list_del_entry+0x63/0xd0() CPU: 12 PID: 10819 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 3.17.0-rc1 #19 Hardware name: FUJITSU-SV PRIMERGY BX920 S2/D3030, BIOS 080015 Rev.3D81.3030 02/10/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x45/0x56 warn_slowpath_common+0x7d/0xa0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4c/0x50 __list_del_entry+0x63/0xd0 list_del+0xd/0x30 cleanup_one_si+0x2a/0x230 [ipmi_si] ipmi_pnp_remove+0x15/0x20 [ipmi_si] pnp_device_remove+0x24/0x40 __device_release_driver+0x7f/0xf0 driver_detach+0xb0/0xc0 bus_remove_driver+0x55/0xd0 driver_unregister+0x2c/0x50 pnp_unregister_driver+0x12/0x20 cleanup_ipmi_si+0xbc/0xf0 [ipmi_si] SyS_delete_module+0x132/0x1c0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 70b4377268f85c23 ]--- list_del in cleanup_one_si() fails because the smi_info is already removed when hotmod removing. When ipmi interface is removed by hotmod, smi_info is removed by cleanup_one_si(), but is is still set in drvdata. Therefore when rmmod ipmi_si, ipmi_pnp_remove tries to remove it again and fails. By this patch, a pointer to smi_info in drvdata is cleared when hotmod removing so that it will be not accessed when rmmod. changelog: v2: - Clear drvdata in cleanup_one_si - Change subject v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/8/741 Signed-off-by: Takao Indoh Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi: work around gcc-4.9 build warning

2014-10-07T17:22:32Z

Building ipmi on arm with gcc-4.9 results in this warning for an allmodconfig build: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'ipmi_thread': include/linux/time.h:28:5: warning: 'busy_until.tv_sec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (lhs->tv_sec > rhs->tv_sec) ^ drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1007:18: note: 'busy_until.tv_sec' was declared here struct timespec busy_until; ^ The warning is bogus and this case can not occur. Apparently this is a false positive resulting from gcc getting a little smarter about tracking assignments but not smart enough. Marking the ipmi_thread_busy_wait function as inline gives the gcc optimization logic enough information to figure out for itself that the case cannot happen, which gets rid of the warning without adding any fake initialization.

ipmi: Turn off all activity on an idle ipmi interface

2014-04-17T19:23:07Z

The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and watchdog pretimeouts. If there is nothing waiting for these events, it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them. So modify the driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer to be waiting for these. Modify the system interface lower layer to turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need anything and it is not currently handling messages. And modify the message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed. The timers and kthread will still be enabled if: - the SI interface is handling a message. - a user has enabled watching for events. - the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts). - the message handler is waiting on a remote response. - a user has registered to receive commands. This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts. Interfaces with interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the interface is idle.
