Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/6] net: phylink: allow stopping a suspended instance
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 13:45:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920-submit-h616-emac1-v1-v4-1-8347dfe2eb7d@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920-submit-h616-emac1-v1-v4-0-8347dfe2eb7d@gmail.com>
A MAC which cannot restore its hardware after system sleep may need to
close the network device instead of calling phylink_resume(). Without MAC
Wake-on-LAN, phylink_suspend() has already stopped the PHY and PCS, so
another phylink_stop() repeats their shutdown. With MAC Wake-on-LAN, the
saved link-up state still needs a matching mac_link_down(), and leaving
PHYLINK_DISABLE_MAC_WOL set prevents a subsequent start from resolving
the link.
Allow phylink_stop() to finish shutdown directly from either suspended
state. Leave an already stopped instance alone. For MAC Wake-on-LAN,
stop resolution, drain pending resolve work, complete the deferred
link-down and clear the WoL disable bit while retaining the stopped bit.
This does not restart the PHY, reconfigure the MAC or bring its link up.
