- Line 141: Update ipmi_client_open and the ipmi_client_close destruction flow
so a client is accepted only when destroySlot is valid; when destroySlot is
negative, reject and clean up without leaving a live Client. In
ipmi_client_close, invoke destruction before freeing c->storage, and ensure
storage is not freed while the client still depends on it.
In `@src/ipmi_handler.c`:
- Around line 121-128: Update the guard around the memorySize write and
subsequent createSession call to require cfg in addition to srv, g_syms, and
g_syms->srvCreateSession, preventing either operation when cfg is null.
- Around line 121-143: Replace the shared g_sessionMem passed by capture_connect
to createSession with aligned per-session storage, associate that allocation
with the returned Session* in the existing session lifecycle tracking, and pass
the allocation’s size through the session configuration. Update onSessionKilled
or the corresponding destruction path to release the storage only after its
Session* is no longer active, while preserving cleanup for failed session
creation.
In `@src/ipmi_symbols.c`:
- Line 157: Update sm_env_ipmi_serve to validate g_syms.srvTryDispatch before
Server::create, returning false when unresolved; alternatively, tear down the
created server and return false before registering or retaining g_srv. Ensure
startup never returns true while dispatcher_thread cannot dispatch requests.
In `@src/sm_env_ipmi.c`:
- Around line 183-190: Update server_teardown to signal g_disp_stop before
clearing g_srv, wait for g_disp_alive to become false, then set g_srv to NULL.
Ensure the wedged/timeout path also clears g_srv only after the dispatcher has
stopped, while preserving the existing local srv teardown flow.
In `@src/sm_kstuff_caps.c`:
- Line 156: Update the capability validation condition in the probing logic
around run_probe() and patch_shellcore() so a result is considered complete only
when both required capability bits are present. Treat a partial single-bit
result like an invalid or unprobed state, allowing the next probe to retry
instead of caching it.

…ties A backported title needs to know whether the loaded kstuff carries the getSceSysDirPath patch its NP registrations depend on, and it cannot find out from inside its sandbox. Asking for a version does not work, and not because kstuff is gone: the loader exits, but a micro-ELF stays resident. That resident half carries no version string, its kekcall interface has no call that would return one, and the ShellCore patches are applied by the loader, so it never learns they happened. A version would not be trustworthy even if it existed -- the kstuff-lite-dr fork numbers above 1.10 and carries neither patch, so a minimum-version check waves through the exact build that does not work. What is knowable is the patch itself, and both patches are readable straight out of SceShellCore's live text. No release of full kstuff carries either one, and in kstuff-lite they arrive together in v1.07. sm_kstuff_caps.c reads them: a per-firmware offset table for 2.50 through 12.70, matched against the whole patch signature so a testkit or devkit layout cannot produce a false positive. sm_env_ipmi.c serves that over IPMI as "SceShadowMnt", one argument-free query, alongside ShadowMountPlus's own version so a title can require a minimum build. The service is never fatal: a console with no backported title does not need it, so a failure is logged and startup continues. Only a positive capability reading is cached. ShellCore is never un-patched, so a positive cannot go stale, but a zero may only mean kstuff has not run yet -- which depends on autoload ordering we do not control. Latching the first answer made a console with kstuff-lite correctly installed refuse to launch a backported title, the gate reporting sysdirpath=no trophy=no with CAPS_VALID set. Confirmed with kstuff-lite autoloading after this payload: the startup probe reads caps=0x0 and the next probe eleven seconds later reads caps=0x3. The IPMI layer is plain C. It describes a C++ ABI, but describing one needs no C++ compiler: a mangled name reached through an asm label and a vtable slot found by address work the same from C, so there is no cxx_rt.cpp, no separate CXXFLAGS and no compile-with-CXX-link-with-CC rule. Everything asserted in these files was confirmed against a live, working registration on hardware. Worth stating explicitly, because each one is a mistake that is easy to make and expensive to find: - Server::create's fourth argument is not scratch. It placement-constructs the ServerImpl into it and returns that pointer as the Server*, so it has to outlive the registration. Measured: out == storage, and the object is 0x30 bytes. - Config+0x32 is copied to ServerImpl+0x28, and tryDispatch refuses to run on a non-zero value, so it is a named field with an offset assertion rather than padding. - The EventHandler vtable ends after nine virtuals, and the words past the end belong to the next class, so only the slots the scan can name are copied. - Poll tryDispatch, never runDispatcher: runDispatcher checks its shutdown flag only before each receive, so one already asleep survives SIGKILL, keeps the service name and blocks every client forever. - A registration must never outlive its dispatcher. A client probing a name held by a process that no longer answers reads it free and is killed inside create(), and only a reboot clears that. - The service name must start with "Sce" and fit Config::name[16] including the NUL. IPMIMGR kills the caller from inside create() over the prefix, and the server and client halves truncate differently at the boundary, so a long name registers under one spelling and is looked up under another.
Five fixes to the environment service, four of them from review. Sessions overlap as a matter of course, so one shared buffer was never enough. Measured over four title launches on 4.03: every title connects twice about two seconds apart, the second connect landing while the first session is still alive -- eight connects, two live at once every time. createSession placement-constructs into the storage the handler supplies, so all eight sessions reported the same Session*: two handles, one object. A four-slot pool fixes that with no allocator in the connection window, claimed on connect and released in onSessionKilled, which the same run showed fires for every session. No lock, because connect, dispatch and the kill callback all arrive on the dispatcher thread. The dispatcher now takes its Server* once instead of re-reading g_srv each iteration. Teardown cleared g_srv before signalling the stop, so a dispatcher already past its check called tryDispatch(NULL) -- and g_srv is not volatile, so that read raced as well. g_srv is now cleared only once the dispatcher is provably out, and left alone on the wedged path where the registration really is still live. Also: require cfg before writing memorySize through it, since the callback already treats it as possibly null a few lines earlier; refuse to register when ServerImpl::tryDispatch is unresolved, the same rule already applied to the sync-dispatch slot; and leak client storage rather than freeing it when no destroy slot was found, since the library still holds a kid pointing into it.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remains after this review.
Five defects found by review and each one run to ground against the 4.03 libSceIpmi disassembly before touching it. KIND_SYNC_RAW refused by return value alone, which is not a refusal. Only the two respondToSyncMethodRequest overloads call the reply primitive at 0x85b0 -- nothing in the dispatch path replies for us -- so the request was dropped, the state that gets the server killed with signo=0xa0020320 opt32=0x02010006. It now answers through the raw overload, which packs (buf, len) into a one-entry BufferInfo and funnels into that same primitive; (ENOTSUP, NULL, 0) is a complete reply and the raw API carries no out-entry count, so there is no written length to get wrong. Still logged loudly: a dispatch arriving here means the wire shape is not what we measured. cfgHead was 0x40 bytes and the drain read numMsgQueue at +0x40, one byte past the end, landing on the memorySize member that follows. Every drained connect logged the low half of memorySize instead -- and it read 16 because the framework seeds memorySize with a 0x10 floor, which is exactly plausible enough to never be questioned. The buffer is 0x48 now. The kernel's connect header runs to 0x150 (memorySize at +0x148, userDataLen at +0x150), so the wider copy stays inside it, and numMsgQueue now reads 0 on hardware: correct, because our client creates no message queues. ClientImpl::destroy had its return value discarded. It has exactly three outcomes: 0 invalidates the client kid, 0x80020010 returns with the kid still live and pointing into our storage, and every other error raises an IPMI exception and never returns. The middle one reaches the free() and hands libSceIpmi a dangling backing buffer, so it now takes the same leak-and-log path as a missing destroy slot. g_disp_alive was raised by the dispatcher thread itself, but teardown reads a clear flag as proof the dispatcher is out and the thread is detached, so there is nothing else to wait on. Between pthread_create and the thread's first instruction the flag was false: a teardown landing there would destroy the server and free the working buffer under a thread that had not started polling. The creator publishes liveness now, before the thread exists. sm_kstuff_probe_caps cached a one-bit reading. kstuff applies its patches with one phys_copyin per entry and the sysdir and trophy entries are adjacent, so a probe between them sees sysdirpath without trophy -- and that loop returns -1 on failure, making a half-patched ShellCore a reachable resting state, not only a race. Only a complete answer is cached now. Deployed and confirmed on hardware: 35/35 symbols resolved, caps=0x3 reported to the title, a full session created and answered, numMsgQueue reading 0.
Three defects in the EventHandler and one gap in what it reports. THE CATCH-ALL RAN capture_connect ON ANY UNNAMED SLOT. There are two of them, they share one address, and they do not take the same arguments: one arrives as (this, Server*, SessionImpl::Config*, extra) and its return value becomes the connect result, while the other is a disconnect callback called with two arguments and nothing more. capture_connect writes eight bytes at cfg+0x148, so every disconnect wrote through whatever was left in rdx. Only the first unnamed slot is claimed now, which is the one the catch-all already resolved to; the rest return 0 untouched. cfg is null-checked before being written through as well, which it never was. Confirmed on hardware: the scan reports both slots at 8000de9a0 and the gate lands on 0x20, which is where the connect callback actually lives. THE ASYNC SLOTS ARRIVE AS (Session*, ticket, methodId, ...) and the logs had the last two the other way round. The dispatch carries the ticket first, and the pair is handed straight to the dispatch-completion call, whose own diagnostics are what name them. ASYNC REQUESTS ARE NOW REFUSED ON THE WIRE. The slot is declared void, so returning an error refuses nothing. The RAW responder is used deliberately for both flavours: it takes the ticket alone, where the descriptor form takes (methodId, ticket) at the reverse offsets from the order the dispatch hands them over. That ordering is derived rather than observed -- a NID sweep of the whole 4.03 tree for either async responder, with the sync one as a control, finds no importer anywhere to check it against -- and the raw form cannot be routed wrong. Worth being plain about the value of that last one: silence on an async slot was already safe, because the dispatch is completed for us either way, unlike a sync slot where silence gets the server killed. This makes the refusal honest and readies the path for a real async command; it does not rescue anything. Finally the connect drain logs the four size-limit fields, and cfgHead grows to 0x48 so it can reach them -- numMsgQueue sits AT +0x40, so the old copy was being read past its end. Those limits are the wall a command actually hits and nothing logged them: a real title negotiates sync in=0x200 out=0xf800, async in=out=0xf00, well under the 0x10000 that had been assumed.

Do not derive g_connectSlot from the first unmatched slot.
ipmi_syms_resolve() permits individual evh* symbols to remain null. match_mask() then classifies their actual vtable slots as KIND_UNKNOWN. This loop can select an ordinary callback as connect.
When that callback runs, capture_connect() interprets incompatible arguments as srv and cfg. It can then read from or write to cfg + 0x148, which can terminate the process.
Require a positively verified connect slot for each firmware, or reject handler construction when the connect callback cannot be identified. Verify this case with partially unresolved EventHandler symbols on every supported firmware.

Taking the connect slot as the FIRST unnamed one was wrong, and the review that caught it is right. ipmi_syms_resolve returns success with individual symbols still null -- it logs each MISSING and counts them -- so a symbol that fails to resolve leaves its OWN slot unnamed. First-unnamed would then hand connect to whatever that slot was, a destructor among them, and capture_connect writes eight bytes through its cfg argument. That is the same class of defect as the one this loop was added to fix, so fixing it halfway was worse than leaving it: the old catch-all at least ran on every unnamed slot equally, where this quietly picked one. The slot is now identified by POSITION between named neighbours: nothing is claimed unless a run of exactly two unnamed slots sits between onAsyncMethodDispatch(DataInfo) and onSessionKilled. All four conditions have to hold, so an unresolved symbol anywhere in that window fails the match rather than shifting it. When it does not match, no slot is claimed and nothing is captured. Connections are still accepted, get no session, and every client sees 0x8002000d -- loudly logged. Rejecting handler construction outright was the other option and is not taken: it would drop the whole service on a firmware missing one symbol, where refusing only to CAPTURE leaves the failure loud, harmless and diagnosable.
The raw responder cannot answer a DataInfo async request, and choosing it was a mistake made for a reason that sounded careful. It takes one uint32 and hardcodes the methodId field to zero, so the reply carries method 0 while the client waits on its own id. The kernel accepts it -- rc=0, server healthy, nothing logged -- and the caller then blocks in tryGetResult forever. Measured, not reasoned: a probe hung there while dump-monitor reported success. Worse, that client cannot be killed. pldmgr's process_kill calls SIGKILL and returns success, but the thread is parked in an uninterruptible wait inside ipmimgr_call, so the signal is never delivered and only a reboot clears it. Which also settles a question left open earlier. An emulator's claim that tryGetResult blocks despite its name was dismissed here as emulator-only evidence. It is correct on hardware. So the refusal now goes through the descriptor form, with one zero-length DataInfo and count=1. The pair is (methodId, ticket) -- the reverse of the order the dispatch hands them over -- and that is measured too: tryGetResult answers EINVAL to (ticket, methodId) and EAGAIN to (methodId, ticket), and only the second ever returns a result. The reply reads back as 0xffffffff at the client, which is the -1 sent. Nothing in the 4.03 tree imports either async responder, so none of this could be read out of a caller; it took becoming the caller.
VERSION_TAG reaches the code as a command-line macro, so nothing in the dependency graph changes when `git describe` does. A new commit leaves main.o, sm_log.o and sm_env_ipmi.o untouched and the banner then names whichever build last happened to compile them. Measured today: the console reported running 1.6-6-ge19189 while the binary was 26fa77c's, verified by md5 against the local build. The banner is how a deployed build is identified, so a lying banner costs exactly the session that needs it most -- ours went looking for a stale deploy that was not stale. A stamp file carries the tag and is rewritten only when the value actually changes, so the three objects that embed it rebuild when they must and an unchanged rebuild stays incremental.

Require an async reply path before exposing async dispatch.
ipmi_syms_resolve() leaves individual missing symbols as NULL, and handler_build() does not reject a missing sessRespondAsyncData. If the async handler slots are identified, both async thunks call respond_async_refusal(). That function returns when the symbol is missing or absent from the session vtable, while the thunk returns SM_ENV_IPMI_ENOTSUP. The async request can remain unanswered.

In `@src/ipmi_handler.c` at line 218, Ensure async dispatch is exposed only when
sessRespondAsyncData is available: update handler_build() or the async-handler
setup to reject or disable async handler slots when ipmi_syms_resolve() leaves
this symbol unresolved, while preserving the existing ENOTSUP fallback for
unavailable handlers.

Adds an environment IPMI service so a sandboxed title can ask the console what
it is running on, and answers the one question a backported title actually needs:
whether the loaded kstuff carries the ShellCore patches its NP registrations
depend on.
Why a capability probe rather than a version check
kstuff's loader exits after patching. A micro-ELF stays resident, but it carries
no version string, its kekcall interface has no call that would return one, and
the ShellCore patches are applied by the loader, so the resident half never
learns they happened.
A version would not be trustworthy even if one existed. Measured on 4.03,
probing each payload present for both patches:
The
-drfork numbers above 1.10 and carries neither patch, so aminimum-version check waves through the exact build that does not work. What is
knowable is the patch itself, read out of SceShellCore's live text, matched
against the whole patch signature so a testkit or devkit layout cannot produce a
false positive.
What is in here
sm_kstuff_caps.c— per-firmware offset table, 2.50 through 12.70.sm_env_ipmi.c— the service, registered asSceShadowMnt, oneargument-free query returning capabilities plus this build's own version.
Never fatal: a console with no backported title does not need it, so a failure
is logged and startup continues.
ipmi_*.c/h— the IPMI server plumbing: runtime symbol resolution, anEventHandler assembled by copying the base vtable and replacing only the slots
that can be identified by address, and a client used to check the service name
is free before claiming it.
Only a positive capability reading is cached. ShellCore is never un-patched, so
a positive cannot go stale, but a zero may only mean kstuff has not run yet,
which depends on autoload ordering. Confirmed with kstuff-lite autoloading
after this payload: the startup probe reads
caps=0x0and the next probeeleven seconds later reads
caps=0x3.Testing
Built clean and run on 4.03 retail.
SceShadowMntregisters and serves, alllibSceIpmi symbols resolve, the EventHandler vtable measures nine slots, and a
real sandboxed title (MW2, PPSA23012) connects and reads
caps=0x3, after whichits UDS and Trophy2
RegisterContextcalls both return 0.Several constants that had been taken on trust were confirmed against a live
registration while preparing this: the server object is constructed into the
storage passed to
create()rather than into scratch,Config+0x32gates thedispatcher, and the EventHandler vtable ends after nine virtuals. The comments
record what was measured.
