[PATCH linux dev-5.10 v3 00/18] ipmi: Allow raw access to KCS devices

[Andrew Jeffery]

Hi Joel,

This series is (mostly) a backport of v3 I sent upstream:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210510054213.1610760-1-andrew@aj.id.au/T/#m26377de5e29c6d7d8091a6584457657e5f740dbc

The patches that aren't on the upstream lists are 17 and 18.

There's no reason that 17 isn't on the upstream lists, and I'll send it shortly
(too many branches lying around).

As for patch 18, it's a more thorough implementation of the hacky driver we
already have in the OpenBMC tree at drivers/misc/mctp-lpc.c. mctp-lpc.c only
worked against KCS channel 4 whereas kcs_bmc_cdev_raw will work with any KCS
channel in the system. We need to switch away from KCS channel 4 on the Aspeed
BMCs due to the way the status bits are initialised in hardware[1].

Both mctp-lpc.c and kcs_bmc_cdev_raw.c will go away in the mid-term once we have
jk's MCTP subsystem merged into net/ and I've implemented the in-kernel LPC
binding against it. In the mean time, kcs_bmc_cdev_raw.c replaces mctp-lpc.c.
Its chardev semantics are a superset of mctp-lpc.c so there is no userspace
impact aside from needing to ship a udev rule to account for the name of the
device node.

I plan to send a follow up series to do the switch-over in the devicetree and
remove mctp-lpc.c (which also removes a hack from the devicetree).

Aside from patch 18 (which is temporary) there should be no userspace-visible
impact from the series. Modulo bugs, this should make it safe to merge now.

I've tested the series on a Rainier system and it can boot the host without
issue. I've also exercised all the insmod/rmmod combinations with the kernel
debug config options listed in Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst
enabled and found no issues.

Please take a look!

[1] They're initialised in IPMI style, with some bits set to indicate the
channel isn't active. Unfortunately these are the same bits we chose to
represent the channel as active for the LPC MCTP binding.
