From a747c5abc329611220f16df0bb4cf0ca4a7fdf0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:43:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: handle run_to_completion properly in deliver_recv_msg() If run_to_completion flag is set, it means that we are running in a single-threaded mode, and thus no locks are held. This fixes a deadlock when IPMI notifier is being called during panic.
