4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vladimir_zapolskiy@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 53a710b5044d8475faa6813000b6dd659400ef7b ] Since commit 35b5f6b1a82b ("PHYLIB: Locking fixes for PHY I/O potentially sleeping") phy_start_aneg() function utilizes a mutex to serialize changes to phy state, however the helper function is called in atomic context. The bug can be reproduced by running "ethtool -r" command, the bug is reported if CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP build option is enabled.
