[PATCH] Fix panic in the IPMI driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This panic would only occur in saving panic information to the
system log in another panic, and only when sending the panic
information to a remote management controller, so it's not a huge
deal, but needs to be fixed.  Hopefully pasting the message inline
will work ok (testing showed it to be fine, though mozilla did wierd
things with inline text), as I can't get thunderbird to attach a patch
with a valid mimetype (and inline makes everyone happier, I
guess).


The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup
and panic situations to handle messages.  It was only designed to
work with messages from the local management controller, but in
some cases it was used to get messages from remote management
controllers, and the system would then panic.  This patch makes
the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more general so
it works with any kind of message.
