Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] net: phylink: allow stopping a suspended instance
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:27:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922-submit-stmmac-reset-fixes-v1-v2-1-d92e609be996@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922-submit-stmmac-reset-fixes-v1-v2-0-d92e609be996@gmail.com>

If a network driver's system resume fails before phylink_resume(), the
network device can remain administratively up with phylink suspended.
Closing the interface then needs to terminate that suspended instance.
Calling phylink_resume() merely to make phylink_stop() work is not a safe
substitute: resume reconfigures the MAC and restarts link resolution,
although the driver has not successfully restored the MAC.

This is a missing suspend-to-stop transition, independent of the reason
hardware restoration failed. No MAC recovery policy belongs in phylink;
the driver still decides whether to retry resume or wait for an ordinary
administrative down/up cycle.

Without MAC Wake-on-LAN, phylink_suspend() has already called
phylink_stop(). Leave that stopped instance alone instead of repeating
PHY, SFP and PCS shutdown. With MAC Wake-on-LAN, suspend deliberately
defers mac_link_down() and sets PHYLINK_DISABLE_MAC_WOL. Finish that
deferred link-down, drain resolution work and clear the WoL disable bit
while retaining PHYLINK_DISABLE_STOPPED. Otherwise a subsequent start
cannot resolve the link.

Document that a suspended instance can be stopped directly. This neither
resumes the PHY nor reconfigures or brings up the MAC.
