    bnxt_en: make bnxt_free_skbs() safe to call after bnxt_free_mem() · 1affc01f
    Edwin Peer authored
    The call to bnxt_free_mem(..., false) in the bnxt_half_open_nic() error
    path will deallocate ring descriptor memory via bnxt_free_?x_rings(),
    but because irq_re_init is false, the ring info itself is not freed.
    
    To simplify error paths, deallocation functions have generally been
    written to be safe when called on unallocated memory. It should always
    be safe to call dev_close(), which calls bnxt_free_skbs() a second time,
    even in this semi- allocated ring state.
    
    Calling bnxt_free_skbs() a second time with the rings already freed will
    cause NULL pointer dereference.  Fix it by checking the rings are valid
    before proceeding in bnxt_free_tx_skbs() and
    bnxt_free_one_rx_ring_skbs().
