From bda4c30aa6f7dc1483f39ea1dfe37bcab8a96207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:01:02 -0700 Subject: ipmi: run to completion fixes The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken. Locks need to be avoided in run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just internally for panic situations. This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call for setting the mode. The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily converted to use the polling interface.
