[PATCH net] net: stmmac: hold runtime PM reference in setup_tc

From: Lorenzo Bianconi <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-24 17:46:48
Also in: linux-arm-kernel
Subsystem: networking drivers, stmmac ethernet driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Maxime Chevallier, Linus Torvalds

The qdisc offload callbacks invoked by stmmac_setup_tc() program
MTL/MAC registers, but they can be reached while the interface is down,
when stmmac_release() has dropped the runtime PM usage counter and the
device may be suspended with its clocks gated. Accessing the registers
in that state can trigger a bus error.

Hold a runtime PM reference while configuring the register-touching
qdisc offloads (mqprio, cbs and taprio) so the device is active, and its
clocks enabled, whenever the MTL/MAC registers are programmed.

The TC block callback stmmac_setup_tc_block_cb() programs the MTL/MAC
registers as well, but it runs asynchronously from stmmac_setup_tc(),
outside the runtime PM reference held there. Hold a runtime PM reference
for the whole stmmac_setup_tc_block_cb() call as well, covering the
cls_u32/cls_flower setup and the queue enable/disable accesses.

No reference is held for the TC_SETUP_BLOCK bookkeeping itself, the
TC_QUERY_CAPS query or the tc-etf path, since none of them touch the
registers synchronously. In particular the block bind/unbind must reach
flow_block_cb_setup_simple() even when the device is suspended, so the
driver never leaves a stale flow_block_cb on its block list.

Fixes: 1f705bc61aee ("net: stmmac: Add support for CBS QDISC")
Fixes: 4dbbe8dde848 ("net: stmmac: Add support for U32 TC filter using Flexible RX Parser")
