Subject: Re: [Patch v6 0/4] bnx2x: Fix error recovering in switch
 configuration

Hi,

Could we proceed with advancing these patches? They've been in the 
"Awaiting Upstream" state for a while now. Notably, one of them has 
successfully made it to the mainline kernel:
  [v6,1/4] bnx2x: new flag for tracking HW resource

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bf23ffc8a9a777dfdeb04232e0946b803adbb6a9

As testing the latest kernel, we are still encountering crashes due to 
the absence of one of the patches:
   [v6,3/4] bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool.

Is there anything specific I need to do to help moving these patches 
forward?
We would greatly appreciate if they could be incorporated into the 
mainline kernel.

Thank you,
Thinh Tran
