Linus Torvalds df365887f8 Fix issues with IPMI
Some changes that went in 5.16 that had issues.  When working on the
 design a piece was redesigned and things got missed.  And the message
 type was not being initialized when it was allocated, resulting in some
 crashes.
 
 In addition, the IPMI driver has had a shutdown issue where it could
 still have an item in a system workqueue after it had been shutdown.
 Move to a private workqueue to avoid that 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 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.
