4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ivan Mironov <mironov.ivan@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 38355a5f9a22bfa5bd5b1bb79805aca39fa53729 ] This happened when I tried to boot normal Fedora 29 system with latest available kernel (from fedora rawhide, plus some unrelated custom patches): BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 6 PID: 1422 Comm: libvirtd Tainted: G I 4.20.0-0.rc7.git3.hpsa2.1.fc29.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: HP ProLiant BL460c G6, BIOS I24 05/21/2018 RIP: 0010: (null) Code: Bad RIP value.

Corresponding function pointer is not set (== 0) for older hardware, namely these chips: #define CHIP_NUM_57710 0x164e #define CHIP_NUM_57711 0x164f #define CHIP_NUM_57711E 0x1650 And I have one of those in my test system: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe [14e4:1650] Function bnx2x_init_vlan_mac_fp_objs() from drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h decides whether to initialize relevant pointers in bnx2x_sp_objs.vlan_obj or not. This regression was introduced after v4.20-rc7, and still exists in v4.20 release. Fixes: 04f05230c5c13 ("bnx2x: Remove configured vlans as part of unload sequence.")
