From 3976df9b04c113ab19dc0268e49c6cec6baf28f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rustad Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:27:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] IPMI: return correct value from ipmi_write This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually processed. Without this patch, an "echo V >/dev/watchdog" enables the watchdog if IPMI is providing the watchdog function.
