[net-next] net: phy: Check for read errors in SIOCGMIIREG

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When reading registers from the PHY using the SIOCGMIIREG IOCTL any
errors returned from either mdiobus_read() or mdiobus_c45_read() are
ignored, and parts of the returned error is passed as the register value
back to user-space.

For example, if mdiobus_c45_read() is used with a bus that do not
implement the read_c45() callback -EOPNOTSUPP is returned. This is
however directly stored in mii_data->val_out and returned as the
registers content. As val_out is a u16 the error code is truncated and
returned as a plausible register value.

Fix this by first checking the return value for errors before returning
it as the register content.

Before this patch,

    # phytool read eth0/0:1/0
    0xffa1

After this change,

    $ phytool read eth0/0:1/0
    error: phy_read (-95)
