ipmi_ssif: Use interruptible completion for waiting in the thread

2015-04-11T01:51:42Z

The code was using an normal completion, but that caused stuck task errors after a while. Use an interruptible one to avoid that. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi/powernv: Fix minor locking bug

2015-04-11T01:51:42Z

If ipmi_powernv_recv(...) is called without a current message it prints a warning and returns. However it fails to release the message lock causing the system to dead lock during any subsequent IPMI operations. This error path should never normally be taken unless there are bugs elsewhere in the system. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Handle BMCs that don't allow clearing the rcv irq bit

2015-04-11T01:51:42Z

Some BMCs don't let you clear the receive irq bit in the global enables. This is kind of silly, but they give an error if you try to clear it. Compensate for this by detecting the situation and working around it. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Tested-by: Thomas D Reviewed-by: Thomas D

ipmi: Fix a memory ordering issue

2015-02-20T02:58:42Z

From a locking point of view it is safe to check waiting_msg without a lock, but there is a memory ordering issue that causes it to possibly not be set right when viewed from another processor. We are already claiming a lock right after that, move the check to inside the lock to enforce the memory ordering. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Remove uses of return value of seq_printf

2015-02-20T02:58:41Z

The seq_printf like functions will soon be changed to return void. Convert these uses to check seq_has_overflowed instead. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Use is_visible callback for conditional sysfs entries

2015-02-20T02:58:40Z

Instead of manual calls of device_create_file() and device_remove_file(), implement the condition in is_visible callback for the attribute group and put these entries to the group, too. This simplifies the code and avoids the possible races. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Free ipmi_recv_msg messages from the linked list on close

2015-02-20T02:58:40Z

This adds a loop through the elements in the linked list, recv_msgs using list_for_entry_safe in order to free messages in this list. In addition we are using the safe version of this marco in order to prevent use after bugs related to deleting the element we are on currently by holding a pointer to the next element after the current one we are on and freeing with the function, ipmi_free_recv_msg internally in this loop.

ipmi: avoid gcc warning

2015-02-20T02:58:18Z

A new harmless warning has come up on ARM builds with gcc-4.9: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: In function 'smi_send.isra.11': include/linux/spinlock.h:372:95: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock->rlock, flags); ^ drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1490:16: note: 'flags' was declared here unsigned long flags; ^ This could be worked around by initializing the 'flags' variable, but it seems better to rework the code to avoid this.

ipmi: Update timespec usage to timespec64

2015-02-20T01:54:51Z

As part of the internal y2038 cleanup, this patch removes timespec usage in the ipmi driver, replacing it timespec64 Cc: openipmi-developer@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Cleanup DEBUG_TIMING ifdef usage

2015-02-20T01:54:51Z

The driver uses #ifdef DEBUG_TIMING in order to conditionally print out timestamped debug messages. Unfortunately it adds the ifdefs all over the usage sites. This patch cleans it up by adding a debug_timestamp() function which is compiled out if DEBUG_TIMING isn't present. This cleans up all the ugly ifdefs in the function logic.
