In case of pci is offline reclaim_pages_cmd() will still try to call
the FW to release FW pages, cmd_exec() in this case will return a silent
success without actually calling the FW.
This is wrong and will cause page leaks, what we should do is to detect
pci offline or command interface un-available before tying to access the
FW and manually release the FW pages in the driver.
In this patch we share the code to check for FW command interface
availability and we call it in sensitive places e.g. reclaim_pages_cmd().
Alternative fix:
1. Remove MLX5_CMD_OP_MANAGE_PAGES form mlx5_internal_err_ret_value,
command success simulation list.
2. Always Release FW pages even if cmd_exec fails in reclaim_pages_cmd().

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.
