Public bug reported: [Impact] There are several stability issues with the i2c-xlp9xxx that cause communication issues between the host and the BMC, leading to unpredictable results when the ipmi-ssif module tries to enumerate the device (/dev/ipmi0).
[Test Case] Reboot the system several times, each time verifying that /dev/ipmi0 is present and functional (e.g. using 'sudo ipmitool lan print'). [Regression Risk] All patches are clean cherry picks from upstream, restricted to a driver that is only used on this platform in Ubuntu (also used on some MIPS platforms, for which we have no port). ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: (unassigned) => dann frazier (dannf) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Assignee: (unassigned) => dann frazier (dannf) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => In Progress ** Description changed: - There are several stability issues with the i2c-xlp9xxx that cause - communication issues between the host and the BMC, leading to - unpredictable results when the ipmi-ssif module tries to enumerate the - device. + [Impact] + There are several stability issues with the i2c-xlp9xxx that cause communication issues between the host and the BMC, leading to unpredictable results when the ipmi-ssif module tries to enumerate the device (/dev/ipmi0). + + [Test Case] + Reboot the system several times, each time verifying that /dev/ipmi0 is present and functional (e.g. using 'sudo ipmitool lan print'). + + [Regression Risk] + All patches are clean cherry picks from upstream, restricted to a driver that is only used on this platform in Ubuntu (also used on some MIPS platforms, for which we have no port). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762812 Title: /dev/ipmi enumeration flaky on Cavium Sabre nodes Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] There are several stability issues with the i2c-xlp9xxx that cause communication issues between the host and the BMC, leading to unpredictable results when the ipmi-ssif module tries to enumerate the device (/dev/ipmi0).
