In the last step of the EEH recovery process, the EEH driver calls into bnx2x_io_resume() to re-initialize the NIC hardware via the function bnx2x_nic_load(). If an error occurs during bnx2x_nic_load(), OS and hardware resources are released and an error code is returned to the caller. When called from bnx2x_io_resume(), the return code is ignored and the network interface is brought up unconditionally. Later attempts to send a packet via this interface result in a page fault due to a null pointer reference. This patch checks the return code of bnx2x_nic_load(), prints an error message if necessary, and does not enable the interface.

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.
