[ Upstream commit 11a39259ff79b74bc99f8b7c44075a2d6d5e7ab1 ]
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:
