Remove useless get_driver()/put_driver() calls

2012-01-25T00:00:35+00:00

As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch
(as1512) gets rid of various useless and unnecessary calls in several
drivers.  In some cases it may be desirable to pin the driver by
calling try_module_get(), but that can be done later.

net: Change mii to ethtool advertisement function names

2011-11-21T20:27:19+00:00

This patch implements advice by Ben Hutchings to change the mii side of
the function names to look more like the register whose values they
convert.  New LPA translation functions have been added as well.

net: Add ethtool to mii advertisment conversion helpers

2011-11-16T23:36:59+00:00

Translating between ethtool advertisement settings and MII
advertisements are common operations for ethernet drivers.  This patch
adds a set of helper functions that implements the conversion.  The
patch then modifies a couple of the drivers to use the new functions.

netdev/phy: Use mdiobus_read() so that proper locks are taken.

2011-09-30T22:54:08+00:00

Accesses to the mdio busses must be done with the mdio_lock to ensure
proper operation.  Conveniently we have the helper function
mdiobus_read() to do that for us.  Lets use it in get_phy_id() instead
of accessing the bus without the lock held.

phylib: phy_attach_direct: phy_init_hw can fail, add cleanup

2011-03-30T09:31:36+00:00

The function phy_attach_direct attaches the phy and calls phy_init_hw.
phy_init_hw can fail, but the phy is still marked as attached. Successive
calls to phy_attach_direct will fail because the phy is busy.

phylib: Fix race between returning phydev and calling adjust_link

2010-08-24T21:46:12+00:00

It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning
from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare,
though] oops upon reopening the device:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000024c
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  PREEMPT SMP NR_CPUS=2 LTT NESTING LEVEL : 0

  [c0d25f30] [c036c158] phy_state_machine+0x3ac/0x554
  [...]

Here is why. Drivers store phydev in their private structures, e.g.
gianfar driver:

static int init_phy(struct net_device *dev)
{
	...
	priv->phydev = of_phy_connect(...);
	...
}

So that adjust_link could retrieve it back:

static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev)
{
	...
	struct phy_device *phydev = priv->phydev;
	...
}

If the device has been opened before, then phydev->state is set to
PHY_HALTED (or undefined if the driver didn't call phy_stop()).

Now, phy_connect starts the PHY state machine before returning phydev to
the driver:

	phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);

	if (phydev->irq > 0)
		phy_start_interrupts(phydev);

	return phydev;

The time between 'phy_start_machine()' and 'return phydev' is undefined.
The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough
for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite
possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect()
returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev,
which is not yet ready.

To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
phy_start().

net: support time stamping in phy devices.

2010-07-19T02:15:26+00:00

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
deferred for later delivery by the driver.

The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
optionally implement these functions.
