David Thompson a583117668 mlxbf_gige: call request_irq() after NAPI initialized
[ Upstream commit f7442a634a ]

The mlxbf_gige driver encounters a NULL pointer exception in
mlxbf_gige_open() when kdump is enabled.  The sequence to reproduce
the exception is as follows:
a) enable kdump
b) trigger kdump via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
c) kdump kernel executes
d) kdump kernel loads mlxbf_gige module
e) the mlxbf_gige module runs its open() as the
   the "oob_net0" interface is brought up
f) mlxbf_gige module will experience an exception
   during its open(), something like:

     ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt ]---

The exception happens because there is a pending RX interrupt before the
call to request_irq(RX IRQ) executes.  Then, the RX IRQ handler fires
immediately after this request_irq() completes. The RX IRQ handler runs
"napi_schedule()" before NAPI is fully initialized via "netif_napi_add()"
and "napi_enable()", both which happen later in the open() logic.

The logic in mlxbf_gige_open() must fully initialize NAPI before any calls
to request_irq() execute.

README

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.
