Subject: ipmi: don't grab locks in run-to-completion mode
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5956dce1485efe3816febc24aa52490dcb2be837;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ipmi: don't grab locks in run-to-completion mode

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