Subject: [PATCH v8 0/2] bnx2x: Fix error recovering in switch configuration

Please refer to the initial cover letter
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230818161443.708785-1-thinhtr@linux.vnet.ibm.com

In series Version 6, the patch 
   [v6,1/4] bnx2x: new flag for tracking HW resource
was successfully made it to the mainline kernel
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bf23ffc8a9a777dfdeb04232e0946b803adbb6a9
but the rest of the patches did not.

The following patch has been excluded from this series: 
    net/bnx2x: prevent excessive debug information during a TX timeout
based on concerns raised by some developers that it might omit valuable 
debugging details as in some other scenarios may cause the TX timeout.

v8: adding stack trace to commit messages for patch
    net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool

v7: resubmitting patches. 

Hereby resubmitting the two patches below:

Thinh Tran (2):
  net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool
  net/bnx2x: refactor common code to bnx2x_stop_nic()
