From: Nathan Rossi <nathan.rossi@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8a28af7a3e85ddf358f8c41e401a33002f7a9587 ] The aq_nic_start function can fail in a variety of cases which leaves the device in broken state. An example case where the start function fails is the request_threaded_irq which can be interrupted, resulting in a EINTR result. This can be manually triggered by bringing the link up (e.g. ip link set up) and triggering a SIGINT on the initiating process (e.g. Ctrl+C). This would put the device into a half configured state. Subsequently bringing the link up again would cause the napi_enable to BUG. In order to correctly clean up the failed attempt to start a device call aq_nic_stop.
