Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: fix inconsistent spinlock usage
Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 08:12:21 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051111141221.GA6497@i2.minyard.local> (raw)

Linus,

An obvious bug.  Thanks, Hironobu.

Part of a patch was accidentally reverted, this corrects an
inconsistent spinlock use in the IPMI message handler.
