[PATCH net-next v3 4/7] usbnet: smsc95xx: Avoid link settings race on interrupt reception

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

 



When a PHY interrupt is signaled, the SMSC LAN95xx driver updates the
MAC full duplex mode and PHY flow control registers based on cached data
in struct phy_device:

  smsc95xx_status()                 # raises EVENT_LINK_RESET
    usbnet_deferred_kevent()
      smsc95xx_link_reset()         # uses cached data in phydev

Simultaneously, phylib polls link status once per second and updates
that cached data:

  phy_state_machine()
    phy_check_link_status()
      phy_read_status()
        lan87xx_read_status()
          genphy_read_status()      # updates cached data in phydev

If smsc95xx_link_reset() wins the race against genphy_read_status(),
the registers may be updated based on stale data.

E.g. if the link was previously down, phydev->duplex is set to
DUPLEX_UNKNOWN and that's what smsc95xx_link_reset() will use, even
though genphy_read_status() may update it to DUPLEX_FULL afterwards.

PHY interrupts are currently only enabled on suspend to trigger wakeup,
so the impact of the race is limited, but we're about to enable them
perpetually.

Avoid the race by delaying execution of smsc95xx_link_reset() until
phy_state_machine() has done its job and calls back via
smsc95xx_handle_link_change().

Signaling EVENT_LINK_RESET on wakeup is not necessary because phylib
picks up link status changes through polling.  So drop the declaration
of a ->link_reset() callback.

Note that the semicolon on a line by itself added in smsc95xx_status()
is a placeholder for a function call which will be added in a subsequent
commit.  That function call will actually handle the INT_ENP_PHY_INT_
interrupt.
