Subject: [PATCH] bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Kyle Meyer <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 17:25:24 -0500

PCIe errors detected by a Root Port or Downstream Port cause error
recovery services to run on all subordinate devices regardless of
administrative state.

The .error_detected() callback, bnxt_io_error_detected(), disables
and synchronizes IRQs via bnxt_disable_int_sync(), which calls
bnxt_cp_num_to_irq_num() to map completion rings to IRQs using
bp->bnapi.

Since bp->bnapi is allocated on NIC open and freed on NIC close, PCIe
error recovery on a closed NIC can dereference a NULL pointer.

Check if bp->bnapi is NULL before disabling and synchronizing IRQs.

Fixes: e5811b8c09df ("bnxt_en: Add IRQ remapping logic.")
