Subject: [PATCH] HP iLO driver

A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace
programs to query the management processor. Programs can open a channel
to the device (/dev/hpilo_ccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes. This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.

Please CC me on any replies, thanks for your time.

Wouldn't /dev/hpilo/ccbN be a more appropriate namespace?

Why do you need a volatile? What you probably want is atomic ops.
Spinlocks will create memory barriers implicitly.

Is writing to Q->fifobar (u64 *) endian-safe?

Yes, that would be more clear. The code is currently defined to a maximum of 1 hardware device, but this could change, and the dev path should probably reflect that.

How do you feel about /dev/hpiloX/ccbN, where X is 0, 1, ... Num_Devices-1?

this is udev's job.

This points to a queue that is shared with hardware, and could
be modified outside of kernel control.

No, this is not endian-safe. Good point. I think converting these
to readl() operations would let me remove the volatile and fix the
endian issue.

Definitely not related to i2c.

Apparently the messages are coming from drivers/mtd/chips/gen_probe.c.
So I doubt it is related to networking either...

They are debugging messages, but printk(KERN_DEBUG ...) is used where
pr_debug(...) should be. The following (untested) patch should fix it:

Subject: [MTD] No debug message when debugging is disabled

Use pr_debug(...) instead of printk(KERN_DEBUG ...) so that the message
is only printed when debugging is enabled.

I'd rather see /dev/hpilo/dXcY, the point being to try to declutter the
/dev root.

Yes and no. udev, as it should, defaults to the namespace used by sysfs.

THanks for the help and quick reply. I really should have done more
grepping on the source myself.

Heh. What the heck am I doing with mtd? *grin* I must have left it
in when I migrated to my new system here.

I'm doing a test compile now and a reboot later on this evening and
I'll let you know how it goes.

For a case when there will be only one, or, in very rare theoretical
case, two devices, why bother in the first place? A subdirectory
containing only one node is more ugly.. ;)

My notation might have confused you, but there will be several ccb nodes.
The N will range from 0,...MAX_CCB-1, and MAX_CCB is currently defined as 8.
