When I try to use CVS-ipmitool on Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 to talk to a SuperMicros
SIMSO-HTC (Rev. 2.5, IPMI 2.0) chip on a X7SBi-Board via SOL I often get doubled
characters when typing fast, making the SOL interface basically unusable for
anyone accustomed to using a keyboard for longer than a month ;)
At first I thought this was an issue with SuperMicros implementation of the
protocol and/or the flow control
setup on the machine, but their own app works fine (but not the Linux CLI, which
is maybe
based on ipmitool?). But after reading the IPMI 2.0 SOL specs and watching the
debug output for a bit, it seems that is really an issue with lanplus-SOL
protocol implentation of ipmitool in general.
Specifically, in lanplus.c:ipmi_lanplus_send_payload, when waiting for a SOL
response the case that a non SOL packet is returned is not being
checked. Also the "if (is_sol_packet(rsp) && rsp->data_len)" branch does
terminate with a break, but instead goes for a send try, that seems
counterintuitive, Both these things cause doubled characters for me.
The attached patch seems to solve these issues in my case, but I don't claim to
fully understand your protocol code and/or the protocol, so maybe it will cause
problems elsewhere, especially under packet loss conditions.

Commit adds support for cipher suites 6/7/8 (HMAC-MD5) and cipher
suites 15/16/17 (HMAC_SHA256).
This also fixes:
* ID:442 - IPMI_AUTH_RAKP_HMAC_MD5 support in lanplus
* ID:141 - RMCP+ Cipher-suite 17 not supported
Original author Liebig Holger(Fujitsu).
Code cleanup done by Florian Breu and Zdenek Styblik.
Reworked event type code/sensor type parsing in order to support
VITA-specific extensions. Added VITA-specific sensor-specific event
types and VITA-specific sensor types.
Commit changes a dummy interface in a way that it acts as a dummy interface when
no IPMI_DUMMY_SOCK env variable is set. Therefore, it's possible to run
'ekanalyzer frushow' without having BMC. Still, you need to specify this IPMI
interface.
If IPMI_DUMMY_SOCK is set, then dummy interface will work as it was working
before.
Commit adds macros and #include in order to bring down the number of `warning:
implicit declaration of function 'X' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]`
warnings.
Move the logic that checks the session ID from read_session_data_v2x
function to the ipmi_lan_poll_single function in order to avoid calling
assert in this case. We can continue with the next packet if we detect
a session ID mismatch.

NI_MAXHOST and NI_MAXSERV is only defined in /usr/include/netdb.h if
_DARWIN_C_SOURCE is defined or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is undefined.
From /usr/include/netdb.h OS 10.11 - El Capitan:
/*
* Constants for getnameinfo()
*/
#if !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || defined(_DARWIN_C_SOURCE)
#define NI_MAXHOST 1025
#define NI_MAXSERV 32
#endif /* (!_POSIX_C_SOURCE || _DARWIN_C_SOURCE) */
Boards equipped with 'dumb' Intel MAC can do only SOL. IPMITool performs
several autodetection requests before initiating SOL, which are not
recognized by the boards. With each request retried 5 times it takes
about 30 seconds to establish SOL. This patch resolves the problem.
Commit implements '-4' and '-6' switch in order to enforce IPv4 or IPv6
connection. In order to do so, struct ipmi_intf has been extended to carry
ai_family flag.
The current USB plugin doesn't find my IPMI channel:
# ipmitool -I usb mc info
Error in USB session setup
Unable to setup interface usb
Error loading interface usb
This is beacuse I have more than 8 scsi-generic devices that identify
as AMI:
# grep -c ^AMI /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs
13
So we end up hitting the max in FindG2CDROM, and abort without finding
the actual IPMI endpoint (on my system, this is /dev/sg11).
This change bumps that maximum up to 16.
However, that means we hit another bug in scsiProbeNew, where if
we hit the end of the file without completely filling the array,
we return with an error. This change handles the EOF condition
gracefully instead.
Also, fp is never going to become NULL; we don't need to check for that
condition.

This feature request is for adding support for USB Medium as an interface in
IPMITool. AMI BMC (OEM feature) provides Virtual USB devices in the host as
part of its feature list. IPMITool can use this 'Virtual USB device' as a
medium for Inband communication with BMC.
Just like any other interface, use can just give 'ipmitool -I usb xxxx' to
communicate with the BMC via USB Interface.
Request/response matching for bridged and double-bridged requests is broken.
This patch reworks the sending and command construction code, and fixes the
response matching problems.
Since the polling code is retried several times, it was moved into a separate
function in order to make the code more readable.

1. my_addr is not set if an interface does not expose set_my_addr.
Currently, the only interface which requires some special handling to set
my_addr is OpenIPMI. But changing of my_addr still needed for other interfaces.
So, we must set it regardless of presence of set_my_addr().
2. Since set_my_addr() for serial interfaces only sets my_addr, we remove them
as redundand.
3. Bridging is enabled when either trasit_addr or target_addr is not 0.
Currentle transit_addr is not regarded.
4. target_lun does not relate to briging. It is needed for "raw" command. We
set it regardles of bridging.
Commit for: Dmitry Bazhenov
When bridging is used (-t specifies an address which is different from 20h),
presession command must go to BMC_SLAVE_ADDR, not to target_addr.
BMC_SLAVE_ADDR is always used as the responder address in outer Send Message
request, when message is forwarded. Use the same approach for non-bridged
commands.
Commit for: Dmitry Bazhenov
When closing, LAN and LAN+ interfaces do not do proper cleaning of request
entries. Some pointers remain non NULL. This may cause bad memory references.
Commit for: Dmitry Bazhenov
Negative value returned by serial_read_line() function was not properly
recognized, since the storage type was unsigned. This caused ipmitool crash in
some sutuations. This patch fixes the problem.
