From 882fe011a92fa4fc31ca6cc95b279f7e4e52935c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 08:59:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: fix a deadlock Correct an issue with the IPMI message layer taking a lock and calling lower layer driver. If an error occrues at the lower layer the lock can be taken again causing a deadlock. The lock is released before calling the lower layer.
