Somnath Kotur 11a39259ff bnxt_en: Check abort error state in bnxt_half_open_nic() 
bnxt_half_open_nic() is called during during ethtool self test and is
protected by rtnl_lock.  Firmware reset can be happening at the same
time.  Only critical portions of the entire firmware reset sequence
are protected by the rtnl_lock.  It is possible that bnxt_half_open_nic()
can be called when the firmware reset sequence is aborting.  In that
case, bnxt_half_open_nic() needs to check if the ABORT_ERR flag is set
and abort if it is.  The ethtool self test will fail but the NIC will be
brought to a consistent IF_DOWN state.

Without this patch, if bnxt_half_open_nic() were to continue in this
error state, it may crash like this:

  bnxt_en 0000:82:00.1 enp130s0f1np1: FW reset in progress during close, FW reset will be aborted
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
