Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] ipmi: fix ipmi memleak and unload bug
Our users have reported a memory leak. The IPMI driver consumes a lot of
memory.
We found this problem because IPMI was slow to release messages after
being disconnected, causing what appeared to be a memory leak.
Fix commit as:
ipmi: fix msg stack when IPMI is disconnected
Two other issues were addressed in the process of solving this problem.
1. Unloading the driver takes a long time.
Fix commit as:
ipmi: fix long wait in unload when IPMI disconnect
2. Memory leaks during driver unloading.
Fix commit as:
ipmi: fix memleak when unload ipmi driver
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221007092617.87597-1-zhangyuchen.lcr@bytedance.com/
Changelog in v1 -> v2 (suggested by corey):
- Change HOSED to the invalid state and not allowed to send.[TESTED]
- Remove incorrect comment.
