Hi,
  I'm getting quiet a few "long_timeouts" in /proc/ipmi/0/si_stats. (kernel 
2.4.32 with IPMI v39)

cat /proc/ipmi/0/si_stats
interrupts_enabled:    1
short_timeouts:        0
long_timeouts:         8575138
timeout_restarts:      0
idles:                 2864059
interrupts:            10091993
attentions:            3674
flag_fetches:          72295
hosed_count:           0
complete_transactions: 996609
events:                3591
watchdog_pretimeouts:  0
incoming_messages:     96


I've been doing all kind of tests and the interface is running very smoothly 
but I wonder
if I should be concerned by the rather high number of long_timeouts.

Under what condition is the "timeout" reached ? 
What is the behavior of the driver when a "timeout" is reached ?

I think I don't get "short timeouts" because the interface is interrupt driven, 
can that affect 
the responsiveness of the interface ?

Thanks in advance for taking a minute to answer these questions.
