Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/19/21. 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/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix health check alarm cancellation

[ 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")
