Internal error codes happen to be positive, thus the PCI driver
core won't treat them as failure, but we do. This would cause a
crash later on as lpfc_pci_remove_one() is called (e.g. as
shutdown function).

This seems to have been ignored. Re-sending as suggested by Johannes.

The patch looks good, but there are lots of 
	if (rc) {
		mempool_free(mboxq, phba->mbox_mem_pool);
		rc = -EIO;
		goto out_free_bsmbx;
	}

in lpfc_sli4_driver_resource_setup(). Shouldn't out_free_bsmbx take care of it
all so we only have:
	if (rc)
		goto out_free_bsmbx;

Because as this patch shows there's always a chance to miss an 'rc = -EIO'.

Out of curiosity, do you know what's the value of rc in the failure case?

Anyways:

Thanks for your feedback!

I considered doing something similar, but there are different error
coded which are set when we reach the label out_free_mbsx. I checked all
of them (and I hope I didn't miss any), but they all looked correct,
and in quite a few cases different than -EIO (e.g. -ENODEV).

So I think always returning -EIO in those cases is not what we want.

Yes, MBXERR_ERROR (mentioned in patch subject -- sorry, I could have
repeated it in the message perhaps).

We still could pre-assign the rc value:

	rc = -EIO;
	rc = foo()
	if (rc)
		goto err_handler;
	rc = bar()
	if (rc)
		goto err_handler;
	rc = -ENODEV;
	if (rc)
		goto somewhere_else;

But let's not complicate things and get this one queued up.

Ah ok I somehow missed it, sorry.

Applied to 4.14/scsi-fixes. Thanks!
