    ipmi: Change request_module to request_module_nowait · e87443a5
    Corey Minyard authored
    When probing for an ACPI-specified IPMI device, the code would request
    that the acpi_ipmi module be loaded ACPI operations through IPMI can be
    performed.  This could happen through module load context, for instance,
    if an I2C module is loaded that caused the IPMI interface to be probed.
    
    This is not allowed because a synchronous module load in this context
    can result in an deadlock, and I was getting a warning:
    
    [   23.967853] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 21 at kernel/module/kmod.c:144 __request_module+0x1de/0x2d0
    [   23.968852] Modules linked in: i2c_i801 ipmi_ssif
    
    The IPMI driver is not dependent on acpi_ipmi, so just change the called
    to request_module_nowait to make the load asynchronous.
