If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Benjamin LaHaise commit 6368087e851e697679af059b4247aca33a69cef3 upstream. When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures. Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.
