The following changes since commit a5d1079c28a5bc6caa30ef4099ef04ed17d2c6aa: Merge tag 'ntfs3_for_7.1' of https://github.com/Paragon-Software-Group/linux-ntfs3 (2026-04-20 10:59:47 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: https://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi.git tags/for-linus-7.1-2 for you to fetch changes up to a8aebe93a4938c0ca1941eeaae821738f869be3d: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Corey Minyard (4): ipmi: Check event message buffer response for bad data 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 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.c | 24 ++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ Openipmi-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openipmi-developer
