*	ibft, x86: Change reserve_ibft_region() to find_ibft_region()	Yinghai Lu	2010-04-01	1	-2/+6
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This allows arch code could decide the way to reserve the ibft. And we should reserve ibft as early as possible, instead of BOOTMEM stage, in case the table is in RAM range and is not reserved by BIOS (this will often be the case.) Move to just after find_smp_config(). Also when CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, We will not have reserve_bootmem() anymore. -v2: fix typo about ibft pointed by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@darnok.org> Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> LKML-Reference: <4BB510FB.80601@kernel.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@kernel.org> CC: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: H.

*	Firmware: add iSCSI iBFT Support	Konrad Rzeszutek	2008-04-19	1	-0/+50
	Add /sysfs/firmware/ibft/[initiator\|targetX\|ethernetX] directories along with text properties which export the the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) structure. What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table? It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target. Currently the iSCSI information is hard-coded in the initrd. The /sysfs entries are read-only one-name-and-value fields. The usual set of data exposed is: # for a in `find /sys/firmware/ibft/ -type f -print`; do echo -n "$a: "; cat $a; done /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name: iqn.2007.com.intel-sbx44:storage-10gb /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/nic-assoc: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/chap-type: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/lun: 00000000 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/port: 3260 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/ip-addr: 192.168.79.116 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/mac: 00:11:25:9d:8b:01 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/vlan: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/gateway: 192.168.79.254 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/origin: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/subnet-mask: 255.255.252.0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/ip-addr: 192.168.77.41 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/flags: 7 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/initiator-name: iqn.2007-07.com:konrad.initiator /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/index: 0 For full details of the IBFT structure please take a look at: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/system_x_pdf/ibm_iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.02.pdf [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek <konradr@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Cc: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
