ipmi: ipmi_devintf: compat_ioctl method fails to take ipmi_mutex

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures. Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

ipmi: Improve error messages on failed irq enable

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When the interrupt enable message returns an error, the messages are not entirely accurate nor helpful. So improve them. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Cc: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

drivers/char/ipmi: memcpy, need additional 2 bytes to avoid memory overflow

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When calling memcpy, read_data and write_data need additional 2 bytes. write_data: for checking: "if (size > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1)" read_data: for checking: "if (msg_len < 3 || msg_len > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(data + 2, bt->read_data + 4, msg_len - 2)" Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

drivers: char: ipmi: Replaced kmalloc and strcpy with kstrdup

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

Replaced calls to kmalloc followed by strcpy with a sincle call to kstrdup. Patch found using coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Gheorghiu Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: Supply a function to remove a proc entry by PDE

2013-05-01T21:29:46Z

Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally) root dir entry pointer. This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde->name accesses outside of procfs.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32Z

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry layout. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ipmi: add options to disable openfirmware and PCI scanning

Add try... parameters to disable pci and platform (openfirmware) device scanning for IPMI. Also add docs for all the try... parameters. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi: add new kernel options to prevent automatic ipmi init

2013-02-28T03:10:21Z

The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface, multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC. This capability is important for fault-tolerant systems. Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon. To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options, ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line. With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds according to the kernel default.

Drivers: char: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:15Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.
