[ Upstream commit f7442a634ac06b953fc1f7418f307b25acd4cfbc ]
The mlxbf_gige driver encounters a NULL pointer exception in mlxbf_gige_open() when kdump is enabled. The sequence to reproduce the exception is as follows: a) enable kdump b) trigger kdump via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" c) kdump kernel executes d) kdump kernel loads mlxbf_gige module e) the mlxbf_gige module runs its open() as the the "oob_net0" interface is brought up f) mlxbf_gige module will experience an exception during its open(), something like:

The exception happens because there is a pending RX interrupt before the call to request_irq(RX IRQ) executes. Then, the RX IRQ handler fires immediately after this request_irq() completes. The RX IRQ handler runs "napi_schedule()" before NAPI is fully initialized via "netif_napi_add()" and "napi_enable()", both which happen later in the open() logic.
The logic in mlxbf_gige_open() must fully initialize NAPI before any calls to request_irq() execute.
