Please fix it once and for all by doing proper reload sequence. I warned you that setting NULLs to pointers hide bugs. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20250114112555.GG3146852@unreal/ Thanks > > > > > > > > The driver specific ops, ulp_irq_stop and ulp_irq_start are required. > > > Broadcom Ethernet and RDMA drivers are designed like that to manage > > > IRQs between them. > > > > > > Hope this clarifies your question. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Fixes: cc5b9b48d447 ("RDMA/bnxt_re: Recover the device when FW error is detected") > > > > > Signed-off-by: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > > Signed-off-by: Selvin Xavier <selvin.xavier@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > > --- > > > > > drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/main.c | 5 +++++ > > > > > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > > > > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/main.c b/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/main.c > > > > > index c4c3d67..89ac5c2 100644 > > > > > --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/main.c > > > > > +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/main.c > > > > > @@ -438,6 +438,8 @@ static void bnxt_re_stop_irq(void *handle, bool reset) > > > > > int indx; > > > > > > > > > > rdev = en_info->rdev; > > > > > + if (!rdev) > > > > > + return; > > > > > > > > This can be seen as an example why I'm so negative about assigning NULL > > > > to the pointers after object is destroyed.
