Subject: ibmvnic: Call napi_disable instead of napi_enable in failure path
From: Nathan Fontenot <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit e722af6391949e8851310441bb0cec157d25611d ]
The failure path in ibmvnic_open() mistakenly makes a second call to napi_enable instead of calling napi_disable. This can result in a BUG_ON for any queues that were enabled in the previous call to napi_enable.
