Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: Add timeout to unconditional wait in __get_device_id()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:59:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415115930.3428942-1-matt@readmodwrite.com> (raw)
From: Matt Fleming <mfleming@cloudflare.com>
When the BMC does not respond to a "Get Device ID" command, the
wait_event() in __get_device_id() blocks forever in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
while holding bmc->dyn_mutex. Every subsequent sysfs reader then piles
up in D state. Replace with wait_event_timeout() to return -EIO after 1
second.
