The following trace excerpt corresponds with a NULL pointer dereference
of 'bp->irq_tbl' in bnxt_setup_inta() on an Aarch64 system after many
device resets:

Ordinarily, a call to bnxt_setup_inta() (not in trace due to inlining)
would not be expected on a system supporting MSIX at all. However, if
bnxt_init_int_mode() does not end up being called after the call to
bnxt_clear_int_mode() in bnxt_fw_reset_close(), then the driver will
think that only INTA is supported and bp->irq_tbl will be NULL,
causing the above crash.
In the error recovery scenario, we call bnxt_clear_int_mode() in
bnxt_fw_reset_close() early in the sequence. Ordinarily, we will
call bnxt_init_int_mode() in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() after we
reestablish communication with the firmware after reset. However,
if the sequence has to abort before we call bnxt_init_int_mode() and
if the user later attempts to re-open the device, then it will cause
the crash above.
We fix it in 2 ways:
1. Check for bp->irq_tbl in bnxt_setup_int_mode(). If it is NULL, call
bnxt_init_init_mode().
2. If we need to abort in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() and cannot complete
the error recovery sequence, set the BNXT_STATE_ABORT_ERR flag. This
will cause more drastic recovery at the next attempt to re-open the
device, including a call to bnxt_init_int_mode().

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.
