msg_written_handler() may set ssif_info->multi_data to NULL
when using ipmitool to write fru.
Change the ssif i2c send data sequence in msg_written_handler()
to fix NULL pointer kernel panic and incorrect ssif_info->multi_pos.

This is incorrect. These values *must* be set before ssif_i2c_send() is
done.
Once ssif_i2c_send() is called, msg_written_handler can be called at any
time after that, including before where you moved the new code.
If I understand this correctly, I think you need to add a variable,
maybe named "bytes_to_write" and do
bytes_to_write = ssif_info->multi_data + ssif_info->multi_pos;
before the comparison and pass bytes_to_write into
ssif_i2c_send().

Hi Corey,
Thanks your feedback and suggestion. :)
I think you are right. It is better to allocate one new local variable to store i2c data and size to be send...
I create new patch in following according to your suggestion.
Could you help to review the patch again?

Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: Fix kernel panic at ipmi_ssif_thread()
msg_written_handler() may set ssif_info->multi_data to NULL
when using ipmitool to write fru.
Fix kernel panic at ipmi_ssif_thread() and incorrect
ssif_info->multi_pos by adding one local pointer i2c_data to store i2c
data and size to send before calling ssif_i2c_send().
With this change, can avoid concurrent access to ssif_info->multi_pos and
ssif_info->multi_data at msg_written_handler.
Because msg_written_handler can be called at any time after ssif_i2c_send().
