* [PATCH] IPMI: allow user to override the kernel IPMI daemon enableCorey Minyard2006-10-031-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the previous patch to disable the kernel IPMI daemon if interrupts were available, the issue of broken hardware was raised, and a reasonable request to add an override was mode. So here it is. Allow the user to force the kernel ipmi daemon on or off. This way, hardware with broken interrupts or users that are not concerned with performance can turn it on or off to their liking.

* [PATCH] IPMI: per-channel command registrationCorey Minyard2006-10-011-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to register for a command per-channel in the IPMI driver. If your BMC supports multiple channels, incoming messages can be useful to have the ability to register to receive commands on a specific channel instead the current behaviour of all channels.

* [PATCH] ipmi poweroff: fix chassis controlCorey Minyard2005-09-071-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function. This converts over to using the sysctl interface for this data and changes the semantics to be a little more logical.

* [PATCH] ipmi: add power cycle capabilityCorey Minyard2005-06-241-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the feature. The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers. The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module. It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware. If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send the command as power off. Signed-off-by: Christopher A.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
