net: phy: micrel: remove KSZ9477 EEE quirks now handled by phylink

2025-05-13T08:23:24Z

The KSZ9477 PHY driver contained workarounds for broken EEE capability advertisements by manually masking supported EEE modes and forcibly disabling EEE if MICREL_NO_EEE was set. With proper MAC-side EEE handling implemented via phylink, these quirks are no longer necessary. Remove MICREL_NO_EEE handling and the use of ksz9477_get_features(). This simplifies the PHY driver and avoids duplicated EEE management logic.

net: phy: leds: fix memory leak

2025-04-23T01:25:18Z

A network restart test on a router led to an out-of-memory condition, which was traced to a memory leak in the PHY LED trigger code. The root cause is misuse of the devm API. The registration function (phy_led_triggers_register) is called from phy_attach_direct, not phy_probe, and the unregister function (phy_led_triggers_unregister) is called from phy_detach, not phy_remove. This means the register and unregister functions can be called multiple times for the same PHY device, but devm-allocated memory is not freed until the driver is unbound. This also prevents kmemleak from detecting the leak, as the devm API internally stores the allocated pointer. Fix this by replacing devm_kzalloc/devm_kcalloc with standard kzalloc/kcalloc, and add the corresponding kfree calls in the unregister path.

net: phylink: fix suspend/resume with WoL enabled and link down

2025-04-22T23:56:44Z

When WoL is enabled, we update the software state in phylink to indicate that the link is down, and disable the resolver from bringing the link back up. On resume, we attempt to bring the overall state into consistency by calling the .mac_link_down() method, but this is wrong if the link was already down, as phylink strictly orders the .mac_link_up() and .mac_link_down() methods - and this would break that ordering.

net: phy: microchip: force IRQ polling mode for lan88xx

2025-04-22T10:57:37Z

With lan88xx based devices the lan78xx driver can get stuck in an interrupt loop while bringing the device up, flooding the kernel log with messages like the following: lan78xx 2-3:1.0 enp1s0u3: kevent 4 may have been dropped Removing interrupt support from the lan88xx PHY driver forces the driver to use polling instead, which avoids the problem. The issue has been observed with Raspberry Pi devices at least since 4.14 (see [1], bug report for their downstream kernel), as well as with Nvidia devices [2] in 2020, where disabling interrupts was the vendor-suggested workaround (together with the claim that phylib changes in 4.9 made the interrupt handling in lan78xx incompatible). Iperf reports well over 900Mbits/sec per direction with client in --dualtest mode, so there does not seem to be a significant impact on throughput (lan88xx device connected via switch to the peer).

net: phy: allow MDIO bus PM ops to start/stop state machine for phylink-controlled PHY

2025-04-10T00:56:08Z

DSA has 2 kinds of drivers: 1. Those who call dsa_switch_suspend() and dsa_switch_resume() from their device PM ops: qca8k-8xxx, bcm_sf2, microchip ksz 2. Those who don't: all others. The above methods should be optional. For type 1, dsa_switch_suspend() calls dsa_user_suspend() -> phylink_stop(), and dsa_switch_resume() calls dsa_user_resume() -> phylink_start(). These seem good candidates for setting mac_managed_pm = true because that is essentially its definition [1], but that does not seem to be the biggest problem for now, and is not what this change focuses on. Talking strictly about the 2nd category of DSA drivers here (which do not have MAC managed PM, meaning that for their attached PHYs, mdio_bus_phy_suspend() and mdio_bus_phy_resume() should run in full), I have noticed that the following warning from mdio_bus_phy_resume() is triggered: WARN_ON(phydev->state != PHY_HALTED && phydev->state != PHY_READY && phydev->state != PHY_UP); because the PHY state machine is running. It's running as a result of a previous dsa_user_open() -> ... -> phylink_start() -> phy_start() having been initiated by the user. The previous mdio_bus_phy_suspend() was supposed to have called phy_stop_machine(), but it didn't. So this is why the PHY is in state PHY_NOLINK by the time mdio_bus_phy_resume() runs. mdio_bus_phy_suspend() did not call phy_stop_machine() because for phylink, the phydev->adjust_link function pointer is NULL. This seems a technicality introduced by commit fddd91016d16 ("phylib: fix PAL state machine restart on resume"). That commit was written before phylink existed, and was intended to avoid crashing with consumer drivers which don't use the PHY state machine - phylink always does, when using a PHY. But phylink itself has historically not been developed with suspend/resume in mind, and apparently not tested too much in that scenario, allowing this bug to exist unnoticed for so long. Plus, prior to the WARN_ON(), it would have likely been invisible. This issue is not in fact restricted to type 2 DSA drivers (according to the above ad-hoc classification), but can be extrapolated to any MAC driver with phylink and MDIO-bus-managed PHY PM ops. DSA is just where the issue was reported. Assuming mac_managed_pm is set correctly, a quick search indicates the following other drivers might be affected: $ grep -Zlr PHYLINK_NETDEV drivers/ | xargs -0 grep -L mac_managed_pm drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/ag71xx.c drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/sparx5/sparx5_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-mac.c drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa/dpaa_eth.c drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/ucc_geth.c drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_pf_common.c drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/prestera/prestera_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_tse_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/txgbe/txgbe_phy.c drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic/fbnic_phylink.c drivers/net/ethernet/tehuti/tn40_phy.c drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_net.c Make the existing conditions dependent on the PHY device having a phydev->phy_link_change() implementation equal to the default phy_link_change() provided by phylib. Otherwise, we implicitly know that the phydev has the phylink-provided phylink_phy_change() callback, and when phylink is used, the PHY state machine always needs to be stopped/ started on the suspend/resume path. The code is structured as such that if phydev->phy_link_change() is absent, it is a matter of time until the kernel will crash - no need to further complicate the test. Thus, for the situation where the PM is not managed by the MAC, we will make the MDIO bus PM ops treat identically the phylink-controlled PHYs with the phylib-controlled PHYs where an adjust_link() callback is supplied. In both cases, the MDIO bus PM ops should stop and restart the PHY state machine.

net: phy: move phy_link_change() prior to mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend()

2025-04-10T00:56:08Z

In an upcoming change, mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() will need to distinguish a phylib-based PHY client from a phylink PHY client. For that, it will need to compare the phydev->phy_link_change() function pointer with the eponymous phy_link_change() provided by phylib. To avoid forward function declarations, the default PHY link state change method should be moved upwards. There is no functional change associated with this patch, it is only to reduce the noise from a real bug fix.
