Subject: [PATCH v4 1/5] powerpc/rtas: Handle ibm,open-errinjct return format
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:24:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831065441.48654-2-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831065441.48654-1-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com>
ibm,open-errinjct uses a non-standard RTAS return layout:
rets[0] = session token (output parameter)
rets[1] = status code
Unlike all other RTAS functions which use:
rets[0] = status code
rets[1..] = output parameters
Add rtas_token_is_open_errinjct() to identify this call, and
rtas_status_from_args() to extract status from the correct position.
Add an early guard in rtas_call() that rejects ibm,open-errinjct
invocations where nret < 2, since reading rets[1] would be out of
bounds:
if (rtas_token_is_open_errinjct(token) && nret < 2) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
return RTAS_INVALID_PARAMETER;
}
Adjust the output-copy loop so that for ibm,open-errinjct:
return value = rets[1] (status)
outputs[0] = rets[0] (session token)
For all other functions the existing convention is preserved:
return value = rets[0] (status)
outputs[0..] = rets[1..] (non-status outputs)
Move the "/* A -1 return code... */" comment immediately before the
ret == -1 check so it documents the check it guards.
Also fix sys_rtas() last-error status detection: ibm,open-errinjct
places status at rets[1], so the -1 sentinel check must use rets[1]
for that function rather than always using rets[0].
