From f895e5df80316a308c2f7d64d13a78494630ea05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:52:48 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi:si: Don't block module unload if the BMC is messed up If the BMC is in a bad state, don't bother waiting for queues messages since there can't be any. Otherwise the unload is blocked until the BMC is back in a good state. Reported-by: Rafael J.
