Subject: RE: [PATCH] [v2] ipmi: retry to get device id when error
Hi Corey,
Thanks for your comments,
Please review these two patches, which are based on your guide.
1, [PATCH] ipmi: print current state when error
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/15/183
2, [PATCH] [v3] ipmi: retry to get device id when error
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/15/156
As you said "You are having the same issue in the ipmi_si code. It's choosing defaults, but that's not ideal. You probably need to handle this there, too, in a separate patch."
I am not sure whether I grasped what you said,
The print ' device id demangle failed: -22' in commit message, is just triggered by bmc_device_id_handler->ipmi_demangle_device_id, this is the issue we met and is solving.
I found try_get_dev_id(in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c) also called ipmi_demangle_device_id(), do you mean if this ipmi_demangle_device_id() returned error, we also need to retry?
Thanks a lot.

This patch is moving in the right direction. For the final patch(es), I can clean up the english grammar issues, since that's not your native language. A few comments:

> device id demangle failed: -22
You are having the same issue in the ipmi_si code. It's choosing defaults, but that's not ideal. You probably need to handle this there, too, in a separate patch.
Can you create a separate patch to add a dev_warn() to the BT code when it returns IPMI_NOT_IN_MY_STATE_ERR, like I asked previously? And print the current state when it happens. That way we know where this issue is coming from and possibly fix the state machine. I'm thinking that the BMC is just not responding, but I'd like to be sure.

You need to initialize bmc->cc to 0 here.
