This patch uses reference counting to fix the race caused by the unprotected ACPI IPMI user. There are two rules for using the ipmi_si APIs: 1. In ipmi_si, ipmi_destroy_user() can ensure that no ipmi_recv_msg will be passed to ipmi_msg_handler(), but ipmi_request_settime() can not use an invalid ipmi_user_t. This means the ipmi_si users must ensure that there won't be any local references on ipmi_user_t before invoking ipmi_destroy_user(). 2. In ipmi_si, the smi_gone()/new_smi() callbacks are protected by smi_watchers_mutex, so their execution is serialized. But as a new smi can re-use a freed intf_num, it requires that the callback implementation must not use intf_num as an identification mean or it must ensure all references to the previous smi are all dropped before exiting smi_gone() callback. As the acpi_ipmi_device->user_interface check in acpi_ipmi_space_handler() can happen before setting user_interface to NULL and codes after the check in acpi_ipmi_space_handler() can happen after user_interface becomes NULL, the on-going acpi_ipmi_space_handler() still can pass an invalid acpi_ipmi_device->user_interface to ipmi_request_settime(). Such race conditions are not allowed by the IPMI layer's API design as a crash will happen in ipmi_request_settime() if something like that happens. This patch follows the ipmi_devintf.c design: 1. Invoke ipmi_destroy_user() after the reference count of acpi_ipmi_device drops to 0. References of acpi_ipmi_device dropping to 0 also means tx_msg related to this acpi_ipmi_device are all freed. This matches the IPMI layer's API calling rule on ipmi_destroy_user() and ipmi_request_settime(). 2. ipmi_flush_tx_msg() is performed so that no on-going tx_msg can still be running in acpi_ipmi_space_handler(). And it is invoked after invoking __ipmi_dev_kill() where acpi_ipmi_device is deleted from the list with a "dead" flag set, and the "dead" flag check is also introduced to the point where a tx_msg is going to be added to the tx_msg_list so that no new tx_msg can be created after returning from the __ipmi_dev_kill(). 3. The waiting codes in ipmi_flush_tx_msg() is deleted because it is not required since this patch ensures no acpi_ipmi reference is still held for ipmi_user_t before calling ipmi_destroy_user() and ipmi_destroy_user() can ensure no more ipmi_msg_handler() can happen after returning from ipmi_destroy_user(). 4. The flushing of tx_msg is also moved out of ipmi_lock in this patch. The forthcoming IPMI operation region handler installation changes also requires acpi_ipmi_device be handled in this style. The header comment of the file is also updated due to this design change. Signed-off-by: NLv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NHuang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.
