Re: [RFC PATCH 1/4] IPMI: Add one interface to get more info of low-level IPMI device

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

 



I think you miss the point of a refcount. The refcount is to keep the data structure around even if the device has gone away, so that any users may not crash. Just having a counter in the IPMI structure and then decrementing the device refcount is not going to accomplish anything.

And you don't really need to refcount the IPMI structure. (And if you did, you would need to use a refcount structure and you would need to keep from freeing the IPMI structure until the refcount went to zero.) You just need to increment the refcount on the device structure, and whoever gets the device structure needs to be responsible for decrementing it's refcount.

I'd also prefer to not have a struct ipmi_smi_info in the IPMI data structure. Just pull the data from existing sources.

The IPMI smi_watcher will be used to catch the IPMI interface as they come or go.
In order to communicate with the correct IPMI device, it should be confirmed
  whether it is what we wanted especially on the system with multiple IPMI
devices. But the new_smi callback function of smi_watcher provides very
limited info(only the interface number and dev pointer) and there is no
detailed info about the low level interface. For example: which mechansim
registers the IPMI interface(ACPI, PCI, DMI and so on).

This is to add one interface that can get more info of low-level IPMI
device. For example: the ACPI device handle will be returned for the pnp_acpi
IPMI device.
