Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ipmi:si: Don't block module unload if the BMC is messed up
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:52:13 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213065351.915707-2-corey@minyard.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213065351.915707-1-corey@minyard.net>
If the BMC is in a bad state, don't bother waiting for queues messages
since there can't be any. Otherwise the unload is blocked until the
BMC is back in a good state.
Reported-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael@kernel.org>
Fixes: bc3a9d217755 ("ipmi:si: Gracefully handle if the BMC is non-functional")
Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <corey@minyard.net>
