From: Michael Chan <michael.chan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a1301f08c5acf992d9c1fafddc84c3a822844b04 ] bnxt_open_nic() is called during configuration changes that require the NIC to be closed and then opened. This call is protected by rtnl_lock. Firmware reset can be happening at the same time. Only critical portions of the entire firmware reset sequence are protected by the rtnl_lock. It is possible that bnxt_open_nic() can be called when the firmware reset sequence is aborting. In that case, bnxt_open_nic() needs to check if the ABORT_ERR flag is set and abort if it is. The configuration change that resulted in the bnxt_open_nic() call will fail but the NIC will be brought to a consistent IF_DOWN state. Without this patch, if bnxt_open_nic() were to continue in this error state, it may crash like this: [ 1648.659736] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [ 1648.659768] IP: [<ffffffffc01e9b3a>] bnxt_alloc_mem+0x50a/0x1140 [bnxt_en] [ 1648.659796] PGD 101e1b3067 PUD 101e1b2067 PMD 0 [ 1648.659813] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 1648.659825] Modules linked in: xt_CHECKSUM iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack nf_conntrack ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 tun bridge stp llc ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_filter sunrpc dell_smbios dell_wmi_descriptor dcdbas amd64_edac_mod edac_mce_amd kvm_amd kvm irqbypass crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel lrw gf128mul glue_helper ablk_helper vfat cryptd fat pcspkr ipmi_ssif sg k10temp i2c_piix4 wmi ipmi_si ipmi_devintf ipmi_msghandler tpm_crb acpi_power_meter sch_fq_codel ip_tables xfs libcrc32c sd_mod crc_t10dif crct10dif_generic mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops ttm ahci drm libahci megaraid_sas crct10dif_pclmul crct10dif_common [ 1648.660063] tg3 libata crc32c_intel bnxt_en(OE) drm_panel_orientation_quirks devlink ptp pps_core dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod fuse [ 1648.660105] CPU: 13 PID: 3867 Comm: ethtool Kdump: loaded Tainted: G OE ------------ 3.10.0-1152.el7.x86_64 #1 [ 1648.660911] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
