Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/2] net: macb: initialize PTP state before registering clock
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 21:49:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917014922.3697068-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917014922.3697068-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Runyu Xiao <runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit e1406330d70e56dd44fa6fbafc86e77e5c80c122 ]

gem_ptp_init() registers the PTP clock before initializing
bp->tsu_clk_lock and the TSU hardware. Since ptp_clock_register()
publishes the PTP character device, userspace may invoke PTP callbacks
before the lock and hardware are ready.

In addition, gem_ptp_init() is called from both the interface open and
resume paths. Reinitializing tsu_clk_lock there can reset the lock while
timestamp processing is using it.

This race is theoretical and has not been observed in practice.

Initialize tsu_clk_lock once during probe and initialize the TSU before
registering the PTP clock.

Fixes: ab91f0a9b5f4 ("net: macb: Add hardware PTP support")
