2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: fix watchdog timeout panic handlingCorey Minyard
If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic. This adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: use rcu lock for using command receiversCorey Minyard
Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can become a semaphore.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: add timer threadCorey Minyard
We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use. The default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ. For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve the sensor list). This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often. If the state machine is idle, so is the kernel thread. But if there's an active command, it polls quite rapidly. This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge x8x system. The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even under high user process CPU load. Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to ensure safe stoppage.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: kcs error0 delayCorey Minyard
BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands. In particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately. We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to actually be clear before proceeding. This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop, SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY. This means the calling thread/timer should schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait. This is a longer delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: bt restart reset fixesCorey Minyard
The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650, when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START. If this occurs, no further commands will ever succeed unless the state of the controller is first cleared out. Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out. This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows: Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the flags represent ready for a new transaction. This increases the chance of success of the restarted transaction. After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up and reporting back a failure.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: si start transaction hookCorey Minyard
Some commands, on some system BMCs, don't respond at at all. This is seen on Dell PowerEdge x6xx and x7xx systems with IPMI 1.0 BT controllers when a "Get SDR" command is issued, with a length field of 0x3A, which happens to be the length of about SDR entries. If another length is passed, this command succeeds. This patch adds general infrastructure for receiving commands before they're passed down to the low-level drivers, such that they can be completed immediately, or modified, prior to being sent to ->start_transaction().

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanupCorey Minyard
A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers, consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch. Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout. This prevents further commands from failing after a timeout. Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs. This lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime. Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around. The BT driver had caught this, but didn't know how to fix it. Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for time. Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5 seconds. This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a "Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to handle another command yet. Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console. Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s. This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650 and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without timing out. Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC. This also prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handlerCorey Minyard
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.

driver_unregister is not being properly called when the init function returns an error case. Restructured the return logic such that this and the other cleanups all happen in one place. Preformed many of the cleanups that Andrew Morton's patch on Thursday made in tpm_atmel.c. Fixed Matthieu's concern about writing before discovery. (akpm: rmk said: This driver is buggy. You must not provide your own release function - it doesn't solve the problem which the warning (which you get when you don't provide one) is telling you about. You should convert your device driver over to the replacement dynamic platform support, once it is merged. IOW, something like: pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id); if (pdev) { err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources, ARRAY_SIZE(resources)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data, sizeof(platform_data)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add(pdev); } else { err = -ENOMEM; } if (err) platform_device_put(pdev); ) Signed-off-by: Kylene Jo Hall <kjhall@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.
