Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard: "Restructure the IPMI driver. This is a restructure of the IPMI driver, mostly to remove SRCU. The locking had issues, and they were not going to be straightforward to fix. Plus it used tons of memory and was generally a pain. Most of this moves handling of messages out of bh and interrupt context and runs it in thread context. Then getting rid of SRCU is easy. This also has a minor cleanup to remove a warning on newer GCCs and to fix some documentation" * tag 'for-linus-6.16-1' of https://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi: (26 commits) docs: ipmi: fix spelling and grammar mistakes ipmi:msghandler: Fix potential memory corruption in ipmi_create_user() ipmi:watchdog: Use the new interface for panic messages ipmi:msghandler: Export and fix panic messaging capability Documentation:ipmi: Remove comments about interrupt level ipmi:ssif: Fix a shutdown race ipmi:msghandler: Don't deliver messages to deleted users ipmi:si: Rework startup of IPMI devices ipmi:msghandler: Add a error return from unhandle LAN cmds ipmi:msghandler: Shut down lower layer first at unregister ipmi:msghandler: Remove proc_fs.h ipmi:msghandler: Don't check for shutdown when returning responses ipmi:msghandler: Don't acquire a user refcount for queued messages ipmi:msghandler: Fix locking around users and interfaces ipmi:msghandler: Remove some user level processing in panic mode ipmi: Add a note about the pretimeout callback ipmi:watchdog: Change lock to mutex ipmi:msghandler: Remove srcu for the ipmi_interfaces list ipmi:msghandler: Remove srcu from the ipmi user structure ipmi:msghandler: Use the system_wq, not system_bh_wq ...
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
