A vendor with a system having more than 128 CPUs occasionally encounters
the following crash during shutdown. This is not an easily reproduceable
event, but the vendor was able to provide the following analysis of the
crash, which exhibits the same footprint each time.

When a computer has an IPMI system interface, the device interface
is most probably also desired. Autoloading of ipmi_devintf currently
works only if ipmi_si has allocated a platform device. That doesn't
happen if the SI interface was detected e.g. via ACPI. But ACPI
detection is preferred these days, see e.g. kernel.org bug 46741.
This patch introduces a softdep in place of the existing modalias
for ipmi_devintf.

The IPMI message handler uses a message id that the lower-layer
preserved to track the sequence number of the message. The macros
that handled these sequence numbers were somewhat broken as they
could result in sequence number truncation and they were not
doing an "and" of the proper number of bits.
I think this actually is not a problem, because the truncation
should be harmless and the improper "and" didn't hurt anything
because sequence number generation used the same improper "and"
and wouldn't generate a sequence number that would get
truncated wrong. However, it should be fixed.

Parameter trydefaults=1 causes the ipmi_init to initialize ipmi through
the legacy port io space that was designated for ipmi. Architectures
that do not map legacy port io can panic when trydefaults=1.
Rather than implement build-time conditional exceptions for each
architecture that does not map legacy port io, we have removed legacy
port io from the driver.
Parameter 'trydefaults' has been removed. Attempts to use it hereafter
will evoke the "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter" message.
The patch was built against a number of architectures and tested for
regressions and functionality on x86_64 and ARM64.

Commit 7ea0ed2b5b ("ipmi: Make the message handler easier to use for
SMI interfaces") changed handle_new_recv_msgs() to call handle_one_recv_msg()
for a smi_msg while the smi_msg is still connected to waiting_rcv_msgs list.
That could lead to following list corruption problems:
1) low-level function treats smi_msg as not connected to list
handle_one_recv_msg() could end up calling smi_send(), which
assumes the msg is not connected to list.
For example, the following sequence could corrupt list by
doing list_add_tail() for the entry still connected to other list.
handle_new_recv_msgs()
msg = list_entry(waiting_rcv_msgs)
handle_one_recv_msg(msg)
handle_ipmb_get_msg_cmd(msg)
smi_send(msg)
spin_lock(xmit_msgs_lock)
list_add_tail(msg)
spin_unlock(xmit_msgs_lock)
2) race between multiple handle_new_recv_msgs() instances
handle_new_recv_msgs() once releases waiting_rcv_msgs_lock before calling
handle_one_recv_msg() then retakes the lock and list_del() it.
If others call handle_new_recv_msgs() during the window shown below
list_del() will be done twice for the same smi_msg.
handle_new_recv_msgs()
spin_lock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
msg = list_entry(waiting_rcv_msgs)
spin_unlock(waiting_rcv_msgs_lock)
|
| handle_one_recv_msg(msg)

Received handlers defined as ipmi_recv_hndl member of struct
ipmi_user_hndl can take a spinlock. This means that if the kernel
panics while holding the lock, a deadlock may happen on the lock
while flushing queued messages in the panic context.
Calling the receive handler doesn't make much meanings in the panic
context, simply skip it to avoid possible deadlocks.

When processing queued messages in the panic context, IPMI driver
tries to do it without any locking to avoid deadlocks. However,
this means we can touch a corrupted list if the kernel panicked
while manipulating the list. Fortunately, current `add-tail and
del-from-head' style implementation won't touch the corrupted part,
but it is inherently risky.
To get rid of the risk, this patch re-initializes the message lists
on panic if the related spinlock has already been acquired. As the
result, we may lose queued messages, but it's not so painful.
Dropping messages on the received message list is also less
problematic because no one can respond the received messages.

When flushing queued messages in run-to-completion mode,
smi_event_handler() is recursively called.
flush_messages()
smi_event_handler()
handle_transaction_done()
deliver_recv_msg()
ipmi_smi_msg_received()
smi_recv_tasklet()
sender()
flush_messages()
smi_event_handler()
...
The depth of the recursive call depends on the number of queued
messages, so it can cause a stack overflow if many messages have
been queued.
To solve this problem, this patch removes flush_messages()
from sender()@ipmi_si_intf.c. Instead, add flush_messages() to
caller side of sender() if needed. Additionally, to implement this,
add new handler flush_messages to struct ipmi_smi_handlers.

commit d6c5dc18d8 ("ipmi: Remove uses of return value of seq_printf")
incorrectly changed the return value of various proc_show functions
to use seq_has_overflowed().
These functions should return 0 on completion rather than 1/true
on overflow. 1 is the same as #define SEQ_SKIP which would cause
the output to not be emitted (skipped) instead.
This is a logical defect only as the length of these outputs are
all smaller than the initial allocation done by the seq filesystem.

The message handler expected the SMI interface to keep a queue of
messages, but that was kind of silly, the queue would be easier to
manage in the message handler itself. As part of that, fix the
message cleanup to make sure no messages are outstanding when an
SMI interface is unregistered. This makes it easier for an SMI
interface to unregister, it just has to call ipmi_unregister_smi()
first and all processing from the message handler will be cleaned
up.

The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and
watchdog pretimeouts. If there is nothing waiting for these events,
it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them. So modify the
driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer
to be waiting for these. Modify the system interface lower layer to
turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need
anything and it is not currently handling messages. And modify the
message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed.
The timers and kthread will still be enabled if:
- the SI interface is handling a message.
- a user has enabled watching for events.
- the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts).
- the message handler is waiting on a remote response.
- a user has registered to receive commands.
This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts. Interfaces with
interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the
interface is idle.

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.
