Sankar Patchineelam 2247925f09 bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference in reopen failure path
Net device reset can fail when the h/w or f/w is in a bad state.
Subsequent netdevice open fails in bnxt_hwrm_stat_ctx_alloc().
The cleanup invokes bnxt_hwrm_resource_free() which inturn
calls bnxt_disable_int().  In this routine, the code segment

if (ring->fw_ring_id != INVALID_HW_RING_ID)
   BNXT_CP_DB(cpr->cp_doorbell, cpr->cp_raw_cons);

results in NULL pointer dereference as cpr->cp_doorbell is not yet
initialized, and fw_ring_id is zero.

The fix is to initialize cpr fw_ring_id to INVALID_HW_RING_ID before
bnxt_init_chip() is invoked.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
