The reclaim_pages_cmd() function sends a command to the firmware to
reclaim pages if the command interface is active.
A race condition can occur if the command interface goes down (e.g., due
to a PCI error) while the mlx5_cmd_do() call is in flight. In this
case, mlx5_cmd_do() will return an error. The original code would
propagate this error immediately, bypassing the software-based page
reclamation logic that is supposed to run when the command interface is
down.
Fix this by checking whether mlx5_cmd_do() returns -ENXIO, which mark
that command interface is down. If this is the case, fall through to
the software reclamation path. If the command failed for any another
reason, or finished successfully, return as before.

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 reStructuredText 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.
