commit 6758f937669dba14c6aac7ca004edda42ec1b18d upstream.
For offline (destructive) self tests, we need to stop the RDMA driver
first. Otherwise, the RDMA driver will run into unrecoverable errors
when destructive firmware tests are being performed.
The irq_re_init parameter used in the half close and half open
sequence when preparing the NIC for offline tests should be set to
true because the RDMA driver will free all IRQs before the offline
tests begin.
Fixes: 55fd0cf320c3 ("bnxt_en: Add external loopback test to ethtool selftest.")

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.
