Re: [bug report] cxgb4/ch_ktls: Clear resources when pf4 device is removed

[Ayush Sawal <ayush.sawal@chelsio.com>]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for pointing this out.
The u_ctx pointer in case of ch_ktls will always be valid.

So this condition if(u_ctx && u_ctx->detach) must be if(u_ctx->detach).
and xa_erase(&u_ctx->tid_list, tx_info->tid) doesnot requires a u_ctx check.

So I will send a fix which replaces if(u_ctx && u_ctx->detach) to 
if(u_ctx->detach)
and removes the checks for u_ctx pointer in ch_ktls driver.

Thanks,
Ayush
