I should have responded to you earlier email sooner.

On the reference_rq_sa[], thing, I just think it is a bad idea.
It means you can only ever respond to the first device that has sent you a message.  There's nothing in the IPMI or IPMB spec that has this requirement, and there are known systems out there that don't work this way.

It may be that this saves things on the IPMB from arbitrarily sending messages to other things on the IPMB, but that can still happen in this case, it could just only send them to one place.
As long as the response bit is set, these messages really can't be harmful, anyway.  And if you really wanted to go all the way with the restriction, why not just not respond at all unless the request was from 0x20?

Plus, the way it is implemented, it will still deliver the message to userland, userland will process it, do a write, and the write will fail.  That's really not a very good idea.

So I am against this implementation.

I would be ok with checking that the response bit is set in writes.  That should provide plenty of protection against arbitrary commands being issued through this interface, and is in line with the specification.

-corey

Yes I agree. I didn't take into consideration multi-master cases. I will then add a check for the response bit being set in writes.

Thank you.
