If you continue to access and send messages at a high frequency (once
every 55s) when the IPMI is disconnected, messages will accumulate in
intf->[hp_]xmit_msg. If it lasts long enough, it takes up a lot of
memory.
The reason is that if IPMI is disconnected, each message will be set to
IDLE after it returns to HOSED through IDLE->ERROR0->HOSED. The next
message goes through the same process when it comes in. This process
needs to wait for IBF_TIMEOUT * (MAX_ERROR_RETRIES + 1) = 55s.
Each message takes 55S to destroy. This results in a continuous increase
in memory.
I find that if I wait 5 seconds after the first message fails, the
status changes to ERROR0 in smi_timeout(). The next message will return
the error code IPMI_NOT_IN_MY_STATE_ERR directly without wait.
This is more in line with our needs.
So instead of setting each message state to IDLE after it reaches the
state HOSED, set state to ERROR0.
After testing, the problem has been solved, no matter how many
consecutive sends, will not cause continuous memory growth. It also
returns to normal immediately after the IPMI is restored.
The verification operations are as follows:
1. Use BPF to record the ipmi_alloc/free_smi_msg().
$ bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_recv_msg {printf("alloc
%p\n",retval);} kprobe:free_recv_msg {printf("free %p\n",arg0)}'
2. Exec `date; time for x in $(seq 1 2); do ipmitool mc info; done`.
3. Record the output of `time` and when free all msgs.
Before:
`time` takes 120s, This is because `ipmitool mc info` send 4 msgs and
waits only 15 seconds for each message. Last msg is free after 440s.
$ bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_recv_msg {printf("alloc
%p\n",retval);} kprobe:free_recv_msg {printf("free %p\n",arg0)}'

The IPMI driver really wasn't designed to handle this sort of thing. If
there is a BMC there, it should be there except when it's rebooting,
which should only take a few seconds. Which is what this is all
designed to handle.

So basically, you will stay in error state until the BMC recovers. The
KCS state machine will reject messages until the state machine detects
that the BMC is working again. I think this is ok.
Have you tested that if the BMC comes back that the driver recovers and
works? Looking at the code it seems to be the case, but can you test to
be sure, if you have not already?
Also, the following is in start_kcs_transaction():
if ((kcs->state != KCS_IDLE) && (kcs->state != KCS_HOSED)) {
dev_warn(kcs->io->dev, "KCS in invalid state %d\n", kcs->state);
return IPMI_NOT_IN_MY_STATE_ERR;
}
You probably need to remove the (kcs->state != KCS_HOSED) part of this
now. Would you agree?

I think no matter what machine it is, there is always a chance that it
