Subject: 3.1-rc9: IPMI Bug in 3.x++ [kipmi utilizes 100% CPU until ipmitool
 sel clear is issued[

Hi,

Kernel: 3.1-rc9 on x86-64

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  1203 root      39  19     0    0    0 R  100  0.0   3693:29 kipmi0

I have a supermicro board in a non-supermico chassis and it keeps alerting
that there is a chassis intrusion, when it fills up this process goes to
100%, when I run ipmitool sel clear, it goes back to 0-1%.

# ipmitool sel clear

Then--

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  1203 root      39  19     0    0    0 S    0  0.0   3695:26 kipmi0

Would LKML consider this a kernel bug, shouldn't it just discard future
incoming events/and/or treat/handle it differently rather than using 100%
of the CPU?

Justin.
