[PATCH 4.17 246/324] sfp: fix module initialisation with netdev already up

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

 



4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 576cd32082351620a4e76b8babc4d5ae9b4bbb98 ]

It was been observed that with a particular order of initialisation,
the netdev can be up, but the SFP module still has its TX_DISABLE
signal asserted.  This occurs when the network device brought up before
the SFP kernel module has been inserted by userspace.

This occurs because sfp-bus layer does not hear about the change in
network device state, and so assumes that it is still down.  Set
netdev->sfp when the upstream is registered to work around this problem.
