[PATCH net v4] bnxt_en: validate firmware backing store types
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 20:39:44 EST
bnxt_hwrm_func_backing_store_qcaps_v2() stores resp->type from the
firmware response in ctxm->type and later uses that value to index
fixed backing-store metadata arrays such as ctx_arr[] and
bnxt_bstore_to_trace[].
The firmware response type is defined to match the queried request type.
Validate that resp->type matches the current request before storing it,
and keep next_valid_type in a dedicated variable so loop control stays
clear for non-valid or unchanged entries.
Fixes: 6a4d0774f02d ("bnxt_en: Add support for new backing store query firmware API")

v4:
- validate that resp->type matches the queried type
- keep next_type only for loop control
