Re: [added to the 3.18 stable tree] firmware: dmi_scan: Fix dmi scan to handle "End of Table" structure

Sasha,

I just saw that patch in question was not applied as expected.
Here patch adds lines only, but in original patch you also delete lines added by SBIOS v3 patch. So I just checkouted on v3.18 and saw that SMBIOS v3 was not present in dmi_scan.

Ivan,

 From what I can tell the SMBIOS v3 support patch was added in 3.18, and
that what the commit message says that this patch fixes.

What am I missing?


Thanks,
Sasha

Sasha,

It improves dmi_table scan in 3.18 but not fix.
It fixes beginning from 3.19 only.

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit ce204e9a4bd82e9e6e7479bca8057e45aaac5c42 ]

The dmi-sysfs should create "End of Table" entry, that is type 127. But
after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support
for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point") the 127-0 entry is not handled any
more, as result it's not created in dmi sysfs for instance. This is
important because the size of whole DMI table must correspond to sum of
all DMI entry sizes.

So move the end-of-table check after it's handled by dmi_table.
