Dear IPMI supporters,
We observe a window in IPMI BT's opportunistic get capabilities request,
wherein GET_DEVICE_GUID and GET_DEVICE_ID requests may start while the BT state
machine is in WR_CONSUME. Following this, the 0xD5 error code is forced in
bt_start_transaction, IPMI fails to initialize, and the interface is torn down.
There is no mechanism to retry bringing up the interface in open() /dev/ipmi.
This leaves IPMI hosed until you reload modules. Looks to happen after we call
schedule().
The problem is intermittent, but we observe ~50% fail rate on 4.18
kernels on our UV4 systems.
Here's the relevant snippet (the action starts at 120.367379):

Bad cleanup code causes a null pointer and adds a race condition; this
