bnxt_restore_pf_fw_resources routine frees PF resources by calling close_nic and allocates the resources back, by doing open_nic. However, this is not needed, if the PF is already in closed state. This bug causes the driver to call open the device and call request_irq() when it is not needed. Ultimately, pci_disable_msix() will crash when bnxt_en is unloaded. This patch fixes the problem by skipping __bnxt_close_nic and __bnxt_open_nic inside bnxt_restore_pf_fw_resources routine, if the interface is not running.

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.
