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.

[Cleaned up the verbage a bit in the header and prints.]

And get rid of the license text that is no longer necessary.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
