This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bnx2x: fix page fault following EEH recovery to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bnx2x-fix-page-fault-following-eeh-recovery.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit def26478080379b596f56eac3b7a38219245ad77 Author: David Christensen <drc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 8 16:01:43 2023 -0400 bnx2x: fix page fault following EEH recovery [ Upstream commit 7ebe4eda4265642859507d1b3ca330d8c196cfe5 ] In the last step of the EEH recovery process, the EEH driver calls into bnx2x_io_resume() to re-initialize the NIC hardware via the function bnx2x_nic_load(). If an error occurs during bnx2x_nic_load(), OS and hardware resources are released and an error code is returned to the caller. When called from bnx2x_io_resume(), the return code is ignored and the network interface is brought up unconditionally. Later attempts to send a packet via this interface result in a page fault due to a null pointer reference. This patch checks the return code of bnx2x_nic_load(), prints an error message if necessary, and does not enable the interface.
