[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/bnxt: fix health check alarm cancellation' has been queued to stable release 20.11.2

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/12/21. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk/commit/608d69a62fdea7e664003553b9a29c5865a94a59

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix health check alarm cancellation
Cc: Luca Boccassi <bluca at debian.org>

[ upstream commit d723d1fe5db00a266d38f5e8435eb9e4f2cc7add ]

Driver cancels the health check alarm only if error recovery is enabled
in the FW. This can cause an issue. There is a small window where the
driver receives the async event from FW and port close is invoked
immediately. Driver clears BNXT_FLAG_RECOVERY_ENABLED flag when it gets
the async event from FW. As a result, the health check alarm will not
get canceled during port close and causes a segfault when the alarm tries
to read Heartbeat register.

Fix this by canceling the health check alarm unconditionally during
port stop.

Fixes: 9d0cbaecc91a ("net/bnxt: support periodic FW health monitoring")
