| | | | | | | | | | Lots of style fixes for the base IPMI driver. No functional changes. Basically fixes everything reported by checkpatch and fixes the comment style.

* ipmi: run to completion fixesCorey Minyard2008-04-291-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken. Locks need to be avoided in run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just internally for panic situations. This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call for setting the mode. The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily converted to use the polling interface.

* IPMI: add polled interfaceCorey Minyard2007-10-181-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the IPMI watchdog timer sets the watchdog timeout on a panic, but it doesn't actually poll the interface to make sure the message goes out. Add an interface for polling the IPMI driver, and add code to the IPMI watchdog timer to poll the interface when the timer is set from a panic.

* [PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance modeCorey Minyard2006-12-071-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a while. This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad things to happen when in firmware update mode. Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds. It also add a manual override either way.

* [PATCH] IPMI: per-channel command registrationCorey Minyard2006-10-011-4/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to register for a command per-channel in the IPMI driver. If your BMC supports multiple channels, incoming messages can be useful to have the ability to register to receive commands on a specific channel instead the current behaviour of all channels.

* [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs supportCorey Minyard2006-03-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper bus and device support. It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory. If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have pointers to each interface device that connects to it. The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later. This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

* [PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handlerCorey Minyard2005-11-071-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few minor style updates). The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

* [PATCH] ipmi: fix panic ipmb responseCorey Minyard2005-09-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic situations to handle messages. It was only designed to work with messages from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then panic. This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more general so it works with any kind of message.

* [PATCH] ipmi: add per-channel IPMB addressesCorey Minyard2005-09-071-7/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel might have a different IPMB address. However, the driver has only one IPMB address that it uses for everything. This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs. New systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are broken without this patch.

* [PATCH] ipmi: add power cycle capabilityCorey Minyard2005-06-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the feature. The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers. The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module. It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware. If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send the command as power off. Signed-off-by: Christopher A.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+602
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
