Merge branch 'eth-bnxt-handle-invalid-tx-completions-more-gracefully'
Jakub Kicinski says:
====================
eth: bnxt: handle invalid Tx completions more gracefully
bnxt trusts the events generated by the device which may lead to kernel
crashes. These are extremely rare but they do happen. For a while
I thought crashing may be intentional, because device reporting invalid
completions should never happen, and having a core dump could be useful
if it does. But in practice I haven't found any clues in the core dumps,
and panic_on_warn exists.
Series was tested by forcing the recovery path manually. Because of
how rare the real crashes are I can't confirm it works for the actual
device errors until it's been widely deployed.
