ipmi/watchdog: Stop watchdog timer when the current action is 'none'

2021-07-19T07:44:59+00:00

commit 2253042d86f57d90a621ac2513a7a7a13afcf809 upstream. When an IPMI watchdog timer is being stopped in ipmi_close() or ipmi_ioctl(WDIOS_DISABLECARD), the current watchdog action is updated to WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE and _ipmi_set_timeout(IPMI_SET_TIMEOUT_NO_HB) is called to install this action. The latter function ends up invoking __ipmi_set_timeout() which makes the actual 'Set Watchdog Timer' IPMI request. For IPMI 1.0, this operation results in fully stopping the watchdog timer. For IPMI >= 1.5, function __ipmi_set_timeout() always specifies the "don't stop" flag in the prepared 'Set Watchdog Timer' IPMI request. This causes that the watchdog timer has its action correctly updated to 'none' but the timer continues to run. A problem is that IPMI firmware can then still log an expiration event when the configured timeout is reached, which is unexpected because the watchdog timer was requested to be stopped. The patch fixes this problem by not setting the "don't stop" flag in __ipmi_set_timeout() when the current action is WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE which results in stopping the watchdog timer. This makes the behaviour for IPMI >= 1.5 consistent with IPMI 1.0. It also matches the logic in __ipmi_heartbeat() which does not allow to reset the watchdog if the current action is WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE as that would start the timer.

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard: "Some minor bug fixes, return values, cleanups of prints, conversion of tasklets to the new API. The biggest change is retrying the initial information fetch from the management controller. If that fails, the iterface is not operational, and one group was having trouble with the management controller not being ready when the OS started up. So a retry was added" * tag 'for-linus-5.10-1' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi: ipmi_si: Fix wrong return value in try_smi_init() ipmi: msghandler: Fix a signedness bug ipmi: add retry in try_get_dev_id() ipmi: Clean up some printks ipmi:msghandler: retry to get device id on an error ipmi:sm: Print current state when the state is invalid ipmi: Reset response handler when failing to send the command ipmi: add a newline when printing parameter 'panic_op' by sysfs char: ipmi: convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup() API

The type for the completion codes should be unsigned char instead of char. If it is declared as a normal char then the conditions in __get_device_id() are impossible because the IPMI_DEVICE_IN_FW_UPDATE_ERR error codes are higher than 127. drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:2449 __get_device_id() warn: impossible condition '(bmc->cc == 209) => ((-128)-127 == 209)' Fixes: f8910ffa81b0 ("ipmi:msghandler: retry to get device id on an error") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Message-Id: <20200918142756.GB909725@mwanda> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: add retry in try_get_dev_id()

2020-09-16T13:54:53+00:00

Use a retry machanism to give the BMC more opportunities to correctly respond when we receive specific completion codes. This is similar to what is done in __get_device_id().

ipmi:msghandler: retry to get device id on an error

2020-09-15T14:57:45+00:00

We fail to get the BMCS's device id with low probability when loading the ipmi driver and it causes BMC device registration failed. When this issue occurs we got below kernel prints: [Wed Sep 9 19:52:03 2020] ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IPMI message handler: device id demangle failed: -22 [Wed Sep 9 19:52:03 2020] IPMI BT: using default values [Wed Sep 9 19:52:03 2020] IPMI BT: req2rsp=5 secs retries=2 [Wed Sep 9 19:52:03 2020] ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to get the device id: -5 [Wed Sep 9 19:52:04 2020] ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to register device: error -5 When this issue happens, we want to manually unload the driver and try to load it again, but it can't be unloaded by 'rmmod' as it is already 'in use'. We add a print in handle_one_recv_msg(), when this issue happens, the msg we received is "Recv: 1c 01 d5", which means the data_len is 1, data[0] is 0xd5 (completion code), which means "bmc cannot execute command. Command, or request parameter(s), not supported in present state". Debug code: static int handle_one_recv_msg(struct ipmi_smi *intf, struct ipmi_smi_msg *msg) { printk("Recv: %*ph\n", msg->rsp_size, msg->rsp); ... ... } Then in ipmi_demangle_device_id(), it returned '-EINVAL' as 'data_len < 7' and 'data[0] != 0'. We created this patch to retry the get device id when this error happens. We reproduced this issue again and the retry succeed on the first retry, we finally got the correct msg and then all is ok: Recv: 1c 01 00 01 81 05 84 02 af db 07 00 01 00 b9 00 10 00 So use a retry machanism in this patch to give bmc more opportunity to correctly response kernel when we received specific completion codes.
