ibmvnic: continue fatal error reset after passive init
Commit f9c6cea0b385 ("ibmvnic: Skip fatal error reset after passive init") says "If the passive CRQ initialization occurs before the FATAL reset task is processed, the FATAL error reset task would try to access a CRQ message queue that was freed, causing an oops. The problem may be most likely to occur during DLPAR add vNIC with a non-default MTU, because the DLPAR process will automatically issue a change MTU request. Fix this by not processing fatal error reset if CRQ is passively initialized after client-driven CRQ initialization fails." The original commit skips a specific reset condition, but that does not fix the problem it claims to fix, and misses a reset condition. The effective fix is commit 0e435befaea4 ("ibmvnic: fix NULL pointer dereference in ibmvic_reset_crq") and commit a0faaa27c716 ("ibmvnic: fix NULL pointer dereference in reset_sub_crq_queues"). With above two fixes, there are no more crashes seen as described even without the original commit, so I would like to revert the original commit.
