From 27600805e62f800bacf990354632eae4e487d34c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yazen Ghannam Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 10:43:25 -0500 Subject: x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init() The local "root" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned up after the search is complete. Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the temporary pointer goes out of scope. Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting. Finally, drop the redundant "root = NULL" before the second search loop. The pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its "from" argument, so the first loop can only fall through with "root" already NULL.

Other Dell software such as the open source libsmbios project +is expected to make use of this driver, and it may include the use of this +driver on other Dell systems. + +The Dell libsmbios project aims towards providing access to as much BIOS +information as possible. See http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/ for +more information about the libsmbios project. + + +System Management Interrupt +=========================== + +On some Dell systems, systems management software must access certain +management information via a system management interrupt (SMI). The SMI data +buffer must reside in 32-bit address space, and the physical address of the +buffer is required for the SMI. The driver maintains the memory required for +the SMI and provides a way for the application to generate the SMI. +The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management +software to perform these system management interrupts:: + + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_phys_addr + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_size + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_request + +Systems management software must perform the following steps to execute +a SMI using this driver: + +1) Lock smi_data. +2) Write system management command to smi_data. +3) Write "1" to smi_request to generate a calling interface SMI or + "2" to generate a raw SMI. +4) Read system management command response from smi_data. +5) Unlock smi_data. + + +Host Control Action +=================== + +Dell OpenManage supports a host control feature that allows the administrator +to perform a power cycle or power off of the system after the OS has finished +shutting down. On some Dell systems, this host control feature requires that +a driver perform a SMI after the OS has finished shutting down. + +The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management software +to schedule the driver to perform a power cycle or power off host control +action after the system has finished shutting down: + +/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_action +/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_smi_type +/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_on_shutdown + +Dell OpenManage performs the following steps to execute a power cycle or +power off host control action using this driver: + +1) Write host control action to be performed to host_control_action. +2) Write type of SMI that driver needs to perform to host_control_smi_type. +3) Write "1" to host_control_on_shutdown to enable host control action. +4) Initiate OS shutdown. + (Driver will perform host control SMI when it is notified that the OS + has finished shutting down.) + + +Host Control SMI Type +===================== + +The following table shows the value to write to host_control_smi_type to +perform a power cycle or power off host control action: + +=================== ===================== +PowerEdge System Host Control SMI Type +=================== ===================== + 300 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE1 + 1300 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE1 + 1400 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 500SC HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 1500SC HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 1550 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 600SC HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 1600SC HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 650 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 1655MC HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2 + 700 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE3 + 750 HC_SMITYPE_TYPE3 +=================== ===================== -- cgit v1.3.1
