Moving the phy_prepare_link() up in phy_connect_direct() ensures that phydev->adjust_link is set when the phy_check_link_status() is called.diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/phy_device.cb/drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c index 9d2bbb13293e..2a61812bcb0d 100644--- a/drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c@@ -951,11 +951,12 @@ int phy_connect_direct(struct net_device *dev,struct phy_device *phydev, if (!dev) return -EINVAL; + phy_prepare_link(phydev, handler); + rc = phy_attach_direct(dev, phydev, phydev->dev_flags, interface); if (rc)If phy_attach_direct() fails we may have to reset phydev->adjust_link to NULL, as we do in phy_disconnect(). Apart from that change looks good to me.Sorry, but it doesn't look good to me. I think there's a deeper question here - why is the phy state machine trying to call the link change function during attach?After your comment I had a closer look at the lm78xx driver and few things look suspicious: - lan78xx_phy_init() (incl. the call to phy_connect_direct()) is called after register_netdev(). This may cause races. - The following is wrong, irq = 0 doesn't mean polling. PHY_POLL is defined as -1. Also in case of irq = 0 phy_interrupt_is_valid() returns true. /* if phyirq is not set, use polling mode in phylib */ if (dev->domain_data.phyirq > 0) phydev->irq = dev->domain_data.phyirq; else phydev->irq = 0; - Manually calling genphy_config_aneg() in lan78xx_phy_init() isn't needed, however this should not cause our problem.
Thanks for this review. This may help to fix at least a one of all the other issues with lan78xx.
