Commitf9c6cea0b3("ibmvnic: Skip fatal error reset after passive init") says "If the passive CRQ initialization occurs before the FATAL reset task is processed, the FATAL error reset task would try to access a CRQ message queue that was freed, causing an oops. The problem may be most likely to occur during DLPAR add vNIC with a non-default MTU, because the DLPAR process will automatically issue a change MTU request. Fix this by not processing fatal error reset if CRQ is passively initialized after client-driven CRQ initialization fails." The original commit skips a specific reset condition, but that does not fix the problem it claims to fix, and misses a reset condition. The effective fix is commit0e435befae("ibmvnic: fix NULL pointer dereference in ibmvic_reset_crq") and commita0faaa27c7("ibmvnic: fix NULL pointer dereference in reset_sub_crq_queues"). With above two fixes, there are no more crashes seen as described even without the original commit, so I would like to revert the original commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
