Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] bnxt_en: Fix RSS context delete logic
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 22:16:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129061646.1417185-2-michael.chan@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129061646.1417185-1-michael.chan@broadcom.com>

From: Pavan Chebbi <pavan.chebbi@broadcom.com>

We need to free the corresponding RSS context VNIC
in FW everytime an RSS context is deleted in driver.
Commit 667ac333dbb7 added a check to delete the VNIC
in FW only when netif_running() is true to help delete
RSS contexts with interface down.

Having that condition will make the driver leak VNICs
in FW whenever close() happens with active RSS contexts.
On the subsequent open(), as part of RSS context restoration,
we will end up trying to create extra VNICs for which we
did not make any reservation. FW can fail this request,
thereby making us lose active RSS contexts.

Suppose an RSS context is deleted already and we try to
process a delete request again, then the HWRM functions
will check for validity of the request and they simply
return if the resource is already freed. So, even for
delete-when-down cases, netif_running() check is not
necessary.

Remove the netif_running() condition check when deleting
an RSS context.
