commit 13ba794397e45e52893cfc21d7a69cb5f341b407 upstream.
bnxt_open() can fail in this code path, especially on a VF when
it fails to reserve default rings:
bnxt_open()
__bnxt_open_nic()
bnxt_clear_int_mode()
bnxt_init_dflt_ring_mode()
RX rings would be set to 0 when we hit this error path.
It is possible for a subsequent bnxt_open() call to potentially succeed
with a code path like this:
bnxt_open()
bnxt_hwrm_if_change()
bnxt_fw_init_one()
bnxt_fw_init_one_p3()
bnxt_set_dflt_rfs()
bnxt_rfs_capable()
bnxt_hwrm_reserve_rings()
On older chips, RFS is capable if we can reserve the number of vnics that
is equal to RX rings + 1. But since RX rings is still set to 0 in this
code path, we may mistakenly think that RFS is supported for 0 RX rings.
Later, when the default RX rings are reserved and we try to enable
RFS, it would fail and cause bnxt_open() to fail unnecessarily.
We fix this in 2 places. bnxt_rfs_capable() will always return false if
RX rings is not yet set. bnxt_init_dflt_ring_mode() will call
bnxt_set_dflt_rfs() which will always clear the RFS flags if RFS is not
supported.

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.
