While in recovery process of PCI error (called EEH on PowerPC arch), another PCI transaction could be corrupted causing a situation of nested PCI errors. Also, this scenario could be reproduced with error injection mechanisms (for debug purposes). We observe that in case of nested PCI errors, bnx2x might attempt to initialize its shmem and cause a kernel crash due to bad addresses read from MCP. Multiple different stack traces were observed depending on the point the second PCI error happens. This patch avoids the crashes by: * failing PCI recovery in case of nested errors (since multiple PCI errors in a row are not expected to lead to a functional adapter anyway), and by, * preventing access to adapter FW when MCP is failed (we mark it as failed when shmem cannot get initialized properly).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
