  ipmi:ssif: Clean up kthread on errors (2026-04-17 06:47:40 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
ipmi: Small updates and fixes

Mostly fixes to the BMC software.

Fix one issue in the host side driver where a kthread can be left
running on a specific memory allocation failre at probe time.

Replace system_wq with system_percpu_wq so system_wq can eventually go
away.

  ipmi:ssif: NULL thread on error (2026-04-28 12:59:15 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
IPMI: Fix a number of issues that came up recently

The first two fixes are workarounds for buggy IPMI hardware.  The
hardware says it has data for the IPMI driver to read constantly, so the
driver reads the data constantly, causing any new requests to be
blocked.

The first fix was to check for invalid data right when the data was read
from the device and stop the operation there (there was a later check
for invalid data, but it could not stop the operation at that point).
It turned out the device was providing good data, so that didn't fix the
issue, but it's still a good check.

The second fix stops fetching this data after a few fetches and allows
other operations to occur.  The driver won't work very well, but at
least it won't wedge.  This seems to fix the issue.

The third issue is a problem I spotted while working on the previous
issue where if a certain memory allocation failed the driver would stop
working.

The fourth issue is a problem was a missing set to NULL on a PTR_ERR()
return, introduced in the previous series for 7.1.

      ipmi: Add limits to event and receive message requests
      ipmi:si: Return state to normal if message allocation fails
      ipmi:ssif: NULL thread on error
