Dan Carpenter got a Smatch warning:
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:5265 ipmi_free_recv_msg()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
due to the recent rework of the IPMI driver's locking. I didn't realize
vfree could block. But there is an easy solution to this, now that
almost everything in the message handler runs in thread context.
I wanted to spend the time earlier to see if seq_lock could be converted
from a spinlock to a mutex, but I wanted the previous changes to go in
and soak before I did that. So I went ahead and did the analysis and
converting should work. And solve this problem.

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.
