net: phy: realtek: Avoid PHYCR2 access if PHYCR2 not present

2025-10-23T14:24:30Z

[ Upstream commit 2c67301584f2671e320236df6bbe75ae09feb4d0 ] The driver is currently checking for PHYCR2 register presence in rtl8211f_config_init(), but it does so after accessing PHYCR2 to disable EEE. This was introduced in commit bfc17c165835 ("net: phy: realtek: disable PHY-mode EEE"). Move the PHYCR2 presence test before the EEE disablement and simplify the code.

net: phy: as21xxx: better handle PHY HW reset on soft-reboot

2025-10-15T10:03:46Z

[ Upstream commit b4d5cd20507b252c746fa6971d82ac96f3b3e5b7 ] On soft-reboot, with a reset GPIO defined for an Aeonsemi PHY, the special match_phy_device fails to correctly identify that the PHY needs to load the firmware again. This is caused by the fact that PHY ID is read BEFORE the PHY reset GPIO (if present) is asserted, so we can be in the scenario where the phydev have the previous PHY ID (with the PHY firmware loaded) but after reset the generic AS21xxx PHY is present in the PHY ID registers. To better handle this, skip reading the PHY ID register only for the PHY that are not AS21xxx (by matching for the Aeonsemi Vendor) and always read the PHY ID for the other case to handle both firmware already loaded or an HW reset.

broadcom: fix support for PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl

2025-09-22T18:36:30Z

Commit 7c571ac57d9d ("net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to ptp_clock_info") modified the PTP core kernel logic to validate the supported flags for the PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctls, rather than relying on each individual driver correctly checking its flags. The bcm_ptp_enable() function implements support for PTP_CLK_REQ_EXTTS, but does not check the flags, and does not forward the request structure into bcm_ptp_extts_locked(). When originally converting the bcm-phy-ptp.c code, it was unclear what edges the hardware actually timestamped. Thus, no flags were initialized in the .supported_extts_flags field. This results in the kernel automatically rejecting all userspace requests for the PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl. This occurs because the PTP_STRICT_FLAGS is always assumed when operating under PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2. This has been the case since the flags introduction by commit 6138e687c7b6 ("ptp: Introduce strict checking of external time stamp options."). The bcm-phy-ptp.c logic never properly supported strict flag validation, as it previously ignored all flags including both PTP_STRICT_FLAGS and the PTP_FALLING_EDGE and PTP_RISING_EDGE flags. Reports from users in the field prove that the hardware timestamps the rising edge. Encode this in the .supported_extts_flags field. This re-enables support for the PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl.

broadcom: fix support for PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE

2025-09-22T18:36:30Z

The bcm_ptp_perout_locked() function has support for handling PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE, but its not listed in the supported_perout_flags. Attempts to use the duty cycle support will be rejected since commit d9f3e9ecc456 ("net: ptp: introduce .supported_perout_flags to ptp_clock_info"), as this flag accidentally missed while doing the conversion. Drop the unnecessary supported flags check from the bcm_ptp_perout_locked() function and correctly set the supported_perout_flags. This fixes use of the PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE support for the broadcom driver.

net: phy: fix phy_uses_state_machine()

2025-09-09T23:33:19Z

The blamed commit changed the conditions which phylib uses to stop and start the state machine in the suspend and resume paths, and while improving it, has caused two issues. The original code used this test: phydev->attached_dev && phydev->adjust_link and if true, the paths would handle the PHY state machine. This test evaluates true for normal drivers that are using phylib directly while the PHY is attached to the network device, but false in all other cases, which include the following cases: - when the PHY has never been attached to a network device. - when the PHY has been detached from a network device (as phy_detach() sets phydev->attached_dev to NULL, phy_disconnect() calls phy_detach() and additionally sets phydev->adjust_link NULL.) - when phylink is using the driver (as phydev->adjust_link is NULL.) Only the third case was incorrect, and the blamed commit attempted to fix this by changing this test to (simplified for brevity, see phy_uses_state_machine()): phydev->phy_link_change == phy_link_change ? phydev->attached_dev && phydev->adjust_link : true However, this also incorrectly evaluates true in the first two cases. Fix the first case by ensuring that phy_uses_state_machine() returns false when phydev->phy_link_change is NULL. Fix the second case by ensuring that phydev->phy_link_change is set to NULL when phy_detach() is called.

net: phy: transfer phy_config_inband() locking responsibility to phylink

2025-09-06T00:49:43Z

Problem description =================== Lockdep reports a possible circular locking dependency (AB/BA) between &pl->state_mutex and &phy->lock, as follows. phylink_resolve() // acquires &pl->state_mutex -> phylink_major_config() -> phy_config_inband() // acquires &pl->phydev->lock whereas all the other call sites where &pl->state_mutex and &pl->phydev->lock have the locking scheme reversed. Everywhere else, &pl->phydev->lock is acquired at the top level, and &pl->state_mutex at the lower level. A clear example is phylink_bringup_phy(). The outlier is the newly introduced phy_config_inband() and the existing lock order is the correct one. To understand why it cannot be the other way around, it is sufficient to consider phylink_phy_change(), phylink's callback from the PHY device's phy->phy_link_change() virtual method, invoked by the PHY state machine. phy_link_up() and phy_link_down(), the (indirect) callers of phylink_phy_change(), are called with &phydev->lock acquired. Then phylink_phy_change() acquires its own &pl->state_mutex, to serialize changes made to its pl->phy_state and pl->link_config. So all other instances of &pl->state_mutex and &phydev->lock must be consistent with this order. Problem impact ============== I think the kernel runs a serious deadlock risk if an existing phylink_resolve() thread, which results in a phy_config_inband() call, is concurrent with a phy_link_up() or phy_link_down() call, which will deadlock on &pl->state_mutex in phylink_phy_change(). Practically speaking, the impact may be limited by the slow speed of the medium auto-negotiation protocol, which makes it unlikely for the current state to still be unresolved when a new one is detected, but I think the problem is there. Nonetheless, the problem was discovered using lockdep. Proposed solution ================= Practically speaking, the phy_config_inband() requirement of having phydev->lock acquired must transfer to the caller (phylink is the only caller). There, it must bubble up until immediately before &pl->state_mutex is acquired, for the cases where that takes place. Solution details, considerations, notes ======================================= This is the phy_config_inband() call graph: sfp_upstream_ops :: connect_phy() | v phylink_sfp_connect_phy() | v phylink_sfp_config_phy() | | sfp_upstream_ops :: module_insert() | | | v | phylink_sfp_module_insert() | | | | sfp_upstream_ops :: module_start() | | | | | v | | phylink_sfp_module_start() | | | | v v | phylink_sfp_config_optical() phylink_start() | | | phylink_resume() v v | | phylink_sfp_set_config() | | | v v v phylink_mac_initial_config() | phylink_resolve() | | phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set() v v v phylink_major_config() | v phy_config_inband() phylink_major_config() caller #1, phylink_mac_initial_config(), does not acquire &pl->state_mutex nor do its callers. It must acquire &pl->phydev->lock prior to calling phylink_major_config(). phylink_major_config() caller #2, phylink_resolve() acquires &pl->state_mutex, thus also needs to acquire &pl->phydev->lock. phylink_major_config() caller #3, phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set(), is completely uninteresting, because it only calls phylink_major_config() if pl->phydev is NULL (otherwise it calls phy_ethtool_ksettings_set()). We need to change nothing there. Other solutions =============== The lock inversion between &pl->state_mutex and &pl->phydev->lock has occurred at least once before, as seen in commit c718af2d00a3 ("net: phylink: fix ethtool -A with attached PHYs"). The solution there was to simply not call phy_set_asym_pause() under the &pl->state_mutex. That cannot be extended to our case though, where the phy_config_inband() call is much deeper inside the &pl->state_mutex section.

net: phylink: add lock for serializing concurrent pl->phydev writes with resolver

2025-09-06T00:49:43Z

Currently phylink_resolve() protects itself against concurrent phylink_bringup_phy() or phylink_disconnect_phy() calls which modify pl->phydev by relying on pl->state_mutex. The problem is that in phylink_resolve(), pl->state_mutex is in a lock inversion state with pl->phydev->lock. So pl->phydev->lock needs to be acquired prior to pl->state_mutex. But that requires dereferencing pl->phydev in the first place, and without pl->state_mutex, that is racy. Hence the reason for the extra lock. Currently it is redundant, but it will serve a functional purpose once mutex_lock(&phy->lock) will be moved outside of the mutex_lock(&pl->state_mutex) section. Another alternative considered would have been to let phylink_resolve() acquire the rtnl_mutex, which is also held when phylink_bringup_phy() and phylink_disconnect_phy() are called. But since phylink_disconnect_phy() runs under rtnl_lock(), it would deadlock with phylink_resolve() when calling flush_work(&pl->resolve). Additionally, it would have been undesirable because it would have unnecessarily blocked many other call paths as well in the entire kernel, so the smaller-scoped lock was preferred.
