[PATCH v6 0/4] Add SSIF BMC driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series add support the SSIF BMC driver which is to perform in-band
IPMI communication with their host in management (BMC) side.

SSIF BMC driver in this series is tested with Aspeed AST2500.

Discussion for v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/13/868

v6:
  + Drop the use of slave_enable()                             [Wolfram]
  + Make i2c-aspeed to issue RxCmdLast command on all
  I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED event to assert NAK when slave busy   [Quan]
  + Make i2c slave to return -EBUSY when it's busy                [Quan]
  + Drop the aborting feature as return Completion Code 0xFF may stop
  host to retry and make ipmi_ssif.so fails to load               [Quan]
  + Add timer to recover slave from busy state when no response   [Quan]
  + Clean request/response buffer appropriately                   [Quan]
  + Add some minor change on error and warning messages           [Quan]

v5:
  + Correct the patches order to fix the bisect issue found by
  kernel build robot

v4:
  + Fix recursive spinlock                                      [Graeme]

  + Added bounding check on SMBus writes and the whole request     [Dan]
  + Moved buffer to end of struct ssif_bmc_ctx to avoid context
    corruption if somehow buffer is written past the end           [Dan]
  + Return -EINVAL if userspace buffer too small, dont
    silence truncate                                       [Corey, Joel]
  + Not necessary to check NONBLOCK in lock                      [Corey]
  + Enforce one user at a time                                    [Joel]
  + Reject write with invalid response length from userspace     [Corey]
  + Add state machines for better ssif bmc state handling         [Quan]
  + Drop ssif_bmc_aspeed.c and make ssif_bmc.c is generic
    SSIF BMC driver                                               [Quan]
  + Change compatible string "aspeed,ast2500-ssif-bmc" to
    "ampere,ssif-bmc"                                             [Quan]
  + Toggle Slave enable in i2c-aspeed to turn on/off slave mode   [Ryan]
  + Added slave_enable() to struct i2c_algorithm to control
    slave mode and to address the recursive spinlock      [Graeme, Ryan]
  + Abort current request with invalid SMBus write or
    invalid command                                               [Quan]
  + Abort all request if there is pending response                [Quan]
  + Changed validate_pec() to validate_request()                  [Quan]
  + Add unsupported_smbus_cmd() to handle unknown SMBus command   [Quan]
  + Print internal state string for ease investigating issue      [Quan]
  + Move to READY state on SLAVE_STOP event                       [Quan]
  + Change initilize_transfer() to process_smbus_cmd()            [Quan]

v3:

  + Splited into generic ssif_bmc and aspeed-specific      [Corey, Joel]
  + Removed redundant license info                                [Joel]
  + Switched to use traditional if-else                           [Joel]
  + Removed unused ssif_bmc_ioctl()                               [Joel]
  + Made handle_request()/complete_response() to return void      [Joel]
  + Refactored send_ssif_bmc_response() and
  receive_ssif_bmc_request()                                     [Corey]
  + Remove mutex                                                 [Corey]
  + Use spin_lock/unlock_irqsave/restore in callback             [Corey]
  + Removed the unnecessary memset                               [Corey]
  + Switch to use dev_err()                                      [Corey]
