From 9b7855110fd75d6cbe5514b36d3b7944176992c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 09:59:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi:si: Handle waiting messages when BMC failure detected commit 52c9ee202edd21d0599ac3b5a6fe1da2a2f053e5 upstream. If a BMC failure is detected, the current message is returned with an error. However, if there was a waiting message, it would not be handled. Add a check for the waiting message after handling the current message. Suggested-by: Guenter Roeck Reported-by: Rafael J.
