[PATCH] Update iBFT to 1.03

[PATCH] Update iBFT to 1.03

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

This patch writen by Peter Jones and Mike Christie expands on the
iBFT firmware driver to support v1.03 of the spec. The spec in question is
available at:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/bladecenter/iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.03.pdf

Linux kernel has support for the iBFT 1.0 spec and this update to 1.03
adds three more things:
 - There is now a ACPI table either called 'iBFT' or 'IBFT' that should
   be parsed.
 - If running with UEFI, only look at the ACPI table.
 - If not found within ACPI tables, fall back to the old mechanism of scanning
   memory for the signature.

It has been tested with gPXE and also a real hardware (Mike, did I get that right?)

[PATCH 1/2] ibft: Update iBFT handling for v1.03 of the spec.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

From: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>

- Use struct acpi_table_ibft instead of struct ibft_table_header
- Don't do reserve_ibft_region() on UEFI machines (section 1.4.3.1)
- If ibft_addr isn't initialized when ibft_init() is called, check for
  ACPI-based tables.

[PATCH 2/2] ibft: For UEFI machines actually do scan ACPI for iBFT.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

For machines with IBFT 1.03 do scan the ACPI table for 'iBFT'
or for 'IBFT'. If the machine is in UEFI mode, only do the ACPI
table scan. For all other machines (pre IBFT 1.03) do
a memory scan if not found in the ACPI tables.

The Author: line is unneeded and inappropriate here.  That's what the

Your covering email indicates that Mike and Peter wrote the patches,
but neither of the patches have their signoffs.  Can we please sort all

The name seems weird.  find_foo_scan().  So we're trying to find a scan
for a foo.

I did a small fix to 
ibft-update-ibft-handling-for-v103-of-the-spec.patch to get it to 
compile. It looks like that patch has a "Reviewed-by: Mike Christie 
<michaelc@cs.wisc.edu>". Feel free to change that to a Signed-off-by: 
Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> if needed.

I did not do any changes to 
ibft-for-uefi-machines-actually-do-scan-acpi-for-ibft.patch.

I tested both patches.

Actually there is no need for that. We are just casting it, not getting any 
internal member.

Really?
Which one do you see in the field?

The one machine I do remember seeing this in the ACPI tables was the IBM
HS20, but I can't remember which one it was. Mike, Peter - any
recollection? Don't know about about Intel ones.

For cases where there was no ACPI, the 'iBFT' was definitly the string I saw.

Could definitly use the IBFT_SIGN here.

Thanks for taking a look!

Well, we haven't seen any ACPI-based hardware yet AFAIK - but I'm supposed to
have some soon.  So it's too early to tell which one is actually going to be
the more common case, or if this is really a non-issue.

Nope, that's just an error.  I'll send a patch.

Re: [PATCH] ibft: Use IBFT_SIGN instead of open-coding the search string.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

Andrew,

Please also consider this patch with the others I've sent.
I've put this (and the other ones) on:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/ibft-2.6.git dev.ibft

Well, you're the maintainer and you have a git tree and I cannot tell
the difference between an IBFT and a bar of soap.  So I suggest that
you ask Stephen to permanently include your git tree in linux-next and
send Linus a pull request in the 2.6.35-rc1 merge window like so many
other people do?

Either that or send it via Len Brown, since iBFT really is an ACPI
extension.

Len,

Were you OK with this patch? I was thinking to send to Linus a git-pull for 
this (and the other patches referenced in this patchset).
