Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] powerpc/rtas: Handle ibm,open-errinjct return format
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:48:09 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019101813.45085-2-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019101813.45085-1-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.  This is a kernel-side call-convention error, so -EINVAL is
returned rather than an RTAS firmware status code:

  if (rtas_token_is_open_errinjct(token) && nret < 2) {
          WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
          return -EINVAL;
  }

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: add the same early
nret < 2 validation at the syscall boundary (returning -EINVAL) to
avoid entering RTAS with an invalid ibm,open-errinjct return layout.
After that guard, use rtas_status_from_args() to obtain the RTAS
status for last-error handling.
The prominent user librtas already passes nret = 2 for this function
as required by PAPR, so well-formed callers are unaffected.
