[PATCH] ipmi_si: use smi_num for init_name

[PATCH] ipmi_si: use smi_num for init_name

[Tony Camuso]

Commit 1abf71e moved the creation of new_smi->dev to earlier in the init
sequence in order to provide infrastructure for log printing.

However, the init_name was created with a hard-coded value of zero. This
presents a problem in systems with more than one interface, producing a
call trace in dmesg.

To correct the problem, simply use smi_num instead of the hard-coded
value of zero.

Tested on a lenovo x3950.

Yeah, you are right.  And there's more, the platform_device_alloc will
also be wrong, which is even worse.

I'll revise your patch a bit...

Ouch! I thought smi_num was already locked by smi_infos. Now I see that
it wasn't.

Thanks!

[PATCH] ipmi_si: use smi_num for init_name

[minyard]

From: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com>

Commit 1abf71e moved the creation of new_smi->dev to earlier in the init
sequence in order to provide infrastructure for log printing.

However, the init_name was created with a hard-coded value of zero. This
presents a problem in systems with more than one interface, producing a
call trace in dmesg.

To correct the problem, simply use smi_num instead of the hard-coded
value of zero.

Tested on a lenovo x3950.

There was actually a more general problem, the platform device wasn't
being set correctly, either, and there was a possible (though extremely
unlikely) race on smi_num.  Add locks to clean up the race and use the
proper value for the platform device, too.

Tested on qemu in various configurations.

I reworked this a bit, I think I've covered all the problems with
smi_num.  Tony, does this work for you?
