2019-01-18misc: ibmvsm: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferenceGustavo A. R. Silva
There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case kzalloc() fails and returns NULL. Fix this by adding a NULL check on *session* Also, update the function header with information about the expected return on failure and remove unnecessary variable rc. This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Fixes: 0eca353e7ae7 ("misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

2018-07-07misc: ibmvmc: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin lockWei Yongjun
The function alloc_dma_buffer() is called from ibmvmc_add_buffer(), in which a spin lock be held here, so we should use GFP_ATOMIC when a lock is held.

2018-05-14misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)Bryant G. Ly
This driver is a logical device which provides an interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based system management. VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic logical partition functions: - Logical Partition Configuration - Boot, start, and stop actions for individual partitions - Display of partition status - Management of virtual Ethernet - Management of virtual Storage - Basic system management This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC platform. It provides a character device which allows for both request/response and async message support through the /dev/ibmvmc node. Signed-off-by: Bryant G.
