[ Upstream commit 862aecbd9569e563b979c0e23a908b43cda4b0b9 ] The error is due to dereference a null pointer in function reset_one_sub_crq_queue(): if (!scrq) { netdev_dbg(adapter->netdev, "Invalid scrq reset. irq (%d) or msgs(%p).\n", scrq->irq, scrq->msgs); return -EINVAL; } If the expression is true, scrq must be a null pointer and cannot dereference.

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.
