[PATCH v2] ipmi: kcs_bmc: fix IRQ exception if the channel is not open

From: Haiyue Wang
Date: Sat Jun 23 2018 - 09:51:57 EST


When kcs_bmc_handle_event calls kcs_force_abort function to handle the
not open (no user running) KCS channel transaction, the returned status
value -ENODEV causes the low level IRQ handler indicating that the irq
was not for him by returning IRQ_NONE. After some time, this IRQ will
be treated to be spurious one, and the exception dump happens.

irq 30: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Disabling IRQ #30

It needs to change the returned status from -ENODEV to 0. The -ENODEV
was originally used to tell the low level IRQ handler that no user was
running, but not consider the IRQ handling desgin.

And multiple KCS channels share one IRQ handler, it needs to check the
IBF flag before doing force abort. If the IBF is set, after handling,
return 0 to low level IRQ handler to indicate that the IRQ is handled.
