The patch titled Subject: ipmi: decrease the IPMI message transaction time in interrupt mode has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipmi-decreases-the-ipmi-message-transaction-time-in-interrupt-mode.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Srinivas_Gowda <srinivas_g_gowda@xxxxxxxx> Subject: ipmi: decrease the IPMI message transaction time in interrupt mode Call the event handler immediately after starting the next message. This change considerably decreases the IPMI transaction time (cuts off ~9ms for a single ipmitool transaction).
