bnxt_half_open_nic() is called during during ethtool self test and is
protected by rtnl_lock. Firmware reset can be happening at the same
time. Only critical portions of the entire firmware reset sequence
are protected by the rtnl_lock. It is possible that bnxt_half_open_nic()
can be called when the firmware reset sequence is aborting. In that
case, bnxt_half_open_nic() needs to check if the ABORT_ERR flag is set
and abort if it is. The ethtool self test will fail but the NIC will be
brought to a consistent IF_DOWN state.
Without this patch, if bnxt_half_open_nic() were to continue in this
error state, it may crash like this:
bnxt_en 0000:82:00.1 enp130s0f1np1: FW reset in progress during close, FW reset will be aborted

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.
