Everybody else has the same deal and it makes sense from certain

Please, don't get me wrong. I don't blame Pigeonpoint or you. I meant
it in general and pitching/asking for long term solution. Pretty much
all vendors should give this a thought as they're all affected one way
or another. One guy doing this in free time doesn't seem like a good
solution.
If I ever manage to un-buffer enough, I'll try to get back. It might
be next weekend, next moth or never. For better or worse, some changes
are coming in a month or so.
However, in my opinion, this project needs more than just integration
of "new features". But it's just my opinion. However, should it
continue by just integration and snowballing, then I'm no longer
needed here anymore and can move on.

Administration like to grant commit privileges? Yes. Participating on
the project? No.
Majority of those people are/used to be from Kontron and my guess is
Kontron did whatever it needed to with IPMI tool, say an integration
of sorts, and moved on.
Have a nice evening,

Hello, ipmitool maintainers,
I would like to submit several patches which adds some new
functionality
into ipmitool, as well as fix some bugs.
1. [bugs:#305] deferred-activation-fix.diff
This patch fixes the ipmitool HPM.1 agent which mis-recognizes
the
deferred activation support and reports invalid deferred firmware image
version.
2. [bugs:#306] fru-info-fix.diff
This patch removes duplicate output of FRU info #0 when command
fru
print all is sent.
3. [bugs:#307] i82751spt-fix.diff
This patch adds missing check in the LAN+ implementation for
Intel
i82751 MAC which has known deviations from the IPMI v2.0 specification.
4. [patches:#94] vita-support.diff
This patch adds VITA 46.11 specification support to ipmitool.
5. [patches:#95] intf-reopen-fix.diff
This patch provides a solution how to overcome the architectural
ipmitool
drawback which
makes impossible to normally (without hacks) close and re-open
interface.
Please, review.
Regards,
Dmitry

Hello, Zdenek,
I think there should be no such checks inside these callbacks.
However, I guess there should be a check inside thr
ipmi_intf_set_max_request/response_data_size
functions which guarantee that the minimum value will be not less than
25
bytes (required by IPMI spec).
Could you please add such check or is it better for me to provide a new
patch revision?
Regards,
Dmitry
Dmitry,
I don't have access to any IPMI capable hardware, so I'm afraid it's
either up to you or somebody else. I'm sorry.
Best regards,
Z.

I got a bit "scared" by solution applied to
ipmi_intf_get_max_request_data_size() and
ipmi_intf_get_max_response_data_size(). But then I've tried to compile
just this one function with all kinds of switches and compiler didn't
comply, so I guess it's ok.
I wonder, shouldn't be the same logic applied to
ipmi_lanp_set_max_rq_data_size() and ipmi_lanp_set_max_rp_data_size()
as well?
[DB] Calculations in the ipmi_intf_get_max_request_data_size() are
required
for the case if the target IPMC device is accessed via IPMI bridging.
Since
we can not deduce the target channel maximum message size, we use the
minimum required size. These calculations are not needed for direct
IPMC
device access.
[DB] Set max size functions are required if maximum message size over
the
chosen interface must be somehow modified from the value received from
the
interface properties. This is the case for the encrypted RMCP+ payload
where
maximum message size must be reduced by the confidentiality
header/trailer
sizes. Other interface types do not even implement these callbacks.
What I meant is whether under/over-flow shouldn't be checked in those
functions as well.
Ping?
Z.
