Subject: [bug report] bnxt_en: Handle firmware reset.
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:06:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoVWB2bqd776g_KD@stanley.mountain> (raw)

[ This old code shows up as a new warning because it was reverted and
  then re-applied. ]

Hello Michael Chan,

Commit 230d1f0de754 ("bnxt_en: Handle firmware reset.") from Aug 29,
2019 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker
warning:

	drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:15484 bnxt_fw_reset_task()
	warn: replace while loop with if statement?

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c
    15481                 bp->fw_reset_state = BNXT_FW_RESET_STATE_OPENING;
    15482                 fallthrough;
    15483         case BNXT_FW_RESET_STATE_OPENING:
--> 15484                 while (!rtnl_trylock()) {

This while () would be more readabel as an if ().

    15485                         bnxt_queue_fw_reset_work(bp, HZ / 10);
    15486                         return;
                                  ^^^^^^^
Since it doesn't loop.

    15487                 }
    15488                 netdev_lock(bp->dev);
    15489                 rc = bnxt_open(bp->dev);
    15490                 if (rc) {
    15491                         netdev_err(bp->dev, "bnxt_open() failed during FW reset\n");
