Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 03/19] net: phylink: allow stopping a suspended instance
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 15:59:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927-submit-stmmac-reset-fixes-v1-v5-3-feec6c14dd06@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927-submit-stmmac-reset-fixes-v1-v5-0-feec6c14dd06@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(). Do not repeat PHY, SFP and PCS shutdown. However,
phylink_prepare_resume() may have powered that stopped PHY back up to
provide the receive clock for MAC reset. Suspend it again if WoL
permits, without repeating phy_stop() on a PHY which is already halted.
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.
Also undo PHY speed control performed by phylink_suspend(). As Andrew
Lunn pointed out, phylink_start() does not restore the advertised speeds
that phylink_resume() normally restores. Track suspend-owned speed
control and restore the saved advertisement from either resume or
suspended stop, including when PHY shutdown has already completed.
An explicit driver speed-down request, such as stmmac's close-time power
saving, must remain in effect until its matching speed-up. Restore any
suspend-owned reduction before applying that request, so it cannot save
the reduced advertisement over the original one. The following stop must
not undo the driver's new reduction.
Document that a suspended instance can be stopped directly. This neither
resumes the PHY nor reconfigures or brings up the MAC.
