Subject: [PATCH 4/8] IPMI: Don't grab locks in run-to-completion mode
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:27:49 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080213162749.GD9830@minyard.local> (raw)

From: Konstantin Baydarov <kbaidarov@ru.mvista.com>

This patch prevents deadlocks in IPMI panic handler caused by msg_lock
in smi_info structure and waiting_msgs_lock in ipmi_smi structure.
