Given that the original test that was replaced was: if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(cq->umem))
we aren't really worried about a null cq, just that umem is valid. So, the logic is inverted on the test (or possibly we shouldn't have replaced !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(cq->umem) at all).
But on closer inspection, the bnxt_re specific portion of this patch appears to have another problem in that it no longer checks the result of bnxt_qplib_destroy_cq() yet it does nothing to keep that function from failing.
Leon, can you send a followup fix?
