The patch titled IPMI: fix handling of OEM flags has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ipmi-fix-handling-of-oem-flags.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: IPMI: fix handling of OEM flags From: Corey Minyard <minyard@xxxxxxx> If one of the OEM flags becomes set in the flags from the hardware, the driver could hang if no OEM handler was set. Fix the code to handle this. This was tested by setting the flags by hand after they were fetched.
