[ Upstream commit f7442a634ac06b953fc1f7418f307b25acd4cfbc ]
The mlxbf_gige driver encounters a NULL pointer exception in
mlxbf_gige_open() when kdump is enabled. The sequence to reproduce
the exception is as follows:
a) enable kdump
b) trigger kdump via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
c) kdump kernel executes
d) kdump kernel loads mlxbf_gige module
e) the mlxbf_gige module runs its open() as the
the "oob_net0" interface is brought up
f) mlxbf_gige module will experience an exception
during its open(), something like:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt ]---
The exception happens because there is a pending RX interrupt before the
call to request_irq(RX IRQ) executes. Then, the RX IRQ handler fires
immediately after this request_irq() completes. The RX IRQ handler runs
"napi_schedule()" before NAPI is fully initialized via "netif_napi_add()"
and "napi_enable()", both which happen later in the open() logic.
The logic in mlxbf_gige_open() must fully initialize NAPI before any calls
to request_irq() execute.
