[PATCH net 1/2] net: ngbe: propagate resume errors to the PM core

From: Zhang Yunfei

Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 05:11:45 EST


ngbe_resume() declares err as u32 and unconditionally returns 0, so
failures of wx_init_interrupt_scheme() or ngbe_open() are silently
swallowed. The device stays in netif_device_detach() state with a
broken interrupt scheme, the PM core is told the resume succeeded,
and the netdev never appears in the networking stack again: the
reset task also bails out early on the missing
netif_device_present() check, so the device cannot self-heal.

Fix the type to int and return err, making the tail of the resume
path consistent with the pci_enable_device_mem() failure path at
the top, which already propagates its error. A failed resume then
becomes visible to the PM core and the device can be re-probed.
