When fixing the problem mentioned in PATCH1, we also found
the following problem:
If the IPMI is disconnected and in the sending process, the
uninstallation driver will be stuck for a long time.
The main problem is that uninstalling the driver waits for curr_msg to
be sent or HOSED. After stopping tasklet, the only place to trigger the
timeout mechanism is the circular poll in shutdown_smi.
The poll function delays 10us and calls smi_event_handler(smi_info,10).
Smi_event_handler deducts 10us from kcs->ibf_timeout.
But the poll func is followed by schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1).
The time consumed here is not counted in kcs->ibf_timeout.
So when 10us is deducted from kcs->ibf_timeout, at least 1 jiffies has
actually passed. The waiting time has increased by more than a
hundredfold.
Now instead of calling poll(). call smi_event_handler() directly and
calculate the elapsed time.
For verification, you can directly use ebpf to check the kcs->
ibf_timeout for each call to kcs_event() when IPMI is disconnected.
Decrement at normal rate before unloading. The decrement rate becomes
very slow after unloading.
$ bpftrace -e 'kprobe:kcs_event {printf("kcs->ibftimeout : %d\n",
*(arg0+584));}'

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
