Revision 9f9c9cbb60576a1518d0bf93fb8e499cffccf377 authored by Zhenzhong Duan on 20 December 2012, 23:05:14 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 21 December 2012, 01:40:19 UTC
The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region This issue was originally found from an oracle bug. One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2. - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 : # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid 00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531 # dmidecode | grep -i uuid UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531 From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than network byte order. So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original kernel comment in code.
