From c15e10e71ce3b4ee78d85d80102a9621cde1edbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Beale Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 15:38:38 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: Make sure phy_start() always re-enables the phy interrupts This is an alternative way of fixing: commit db9683fb412d ("net: phy: Make sure PHY_RESUMING state change is always processed") When the PHY state transitions from PHY_HALTED to PHY_RESUMING, there are two things we need to do: 1). Re-enable interrupts (and power up the physical link, if powered down) 2). Update the PHY state and net-device based on the link status. There's no strict reason why #1 has to be done from within the main phy_state_machine() function. There is a risk that other changes to the PHY (e.g. setting speed/duplex, which calls phy_start_aneg()) could cause a subsequent state transition before phy_state_machine() has processed the PHY_RESUMING state change. This would leave the PHY with interrupts disabled and/or still in the BMCR_PDOWN/low-power mode. Moving enabling the interrupts and phy_resume() into phy_start() will guarantee this work always gets done. As the PHY is already in the HALTED state and interrupts are disabled, it shouldn't conflict with any work being done in phy_state_machine(). The downside of this change is that if the PHY_RESUMING state is ever entered from anywhere else, it'll also have to repeat this work. Signed-off-by: Tim Beale Signed-off-by: David S.
