Ordinarily, a call to bnxt_setup_inta() (not in trace due to inlining) would not be expected on a system supporting MSIX at all. However, if bnxt_init_int_mode() does not end up being called after the call to bnxt_clear_int_mode() in bnxt_fw_reset_close(), then the driver will think that only INTA is supported and bp->irq_tbl will be NULL, causing the above crash. In the error recovery scenario, we call bnxt_clear_int_mode() in bnxt_fw_reset_close() early in the sequence. Ordinarily, we will call bnxt_init_int_mode() in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() after we reestablish communication with the firmware after reset. However, if the sequence has to abort before we call bnxt_init_int_mode() and if the user later attempts to re-open the device, then it will cause the crash above. We fix it in 2 ways: 1. Check for bp->irq_tbl in bnxt_setup_int_mode(). If it is NULL, call bnxt_init_init_mode(). 2. If we need to abort in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() and cannot complete the error recovery sequence, set the BNXT_STATE_ABORT_ERR flag. This will cause more drastic recovery at the next attempt to re-open the device, including a call to bnxt_init_int_mode(). Fixes: 3bc7d4a352ef ("bnxt_en: Add BNXT_STATE_IN_FW_RESET state.")
