Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: clear phydev->devlink when the link is deleted
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 14:42:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522064253.3653521-1-wei.fang@nxp.com> (raw)

The phydev->devlink is not cleared when the link is deleted, so calling
phy_detach() again will cause a crash. For example, the link is deleted
when the network interface is set to down, then re-enable the network
interface and phy_attach_direct() will be called, but an error occurs
and jump to the error path, so phy_detach() is called again and cause a
crash, the crash log is as follows.

[   24.702421] Call trace:
[   24.704856]  device_link_put_kref+0x20/0x120
[   24.709124]  device_link_del+0x30/0x48
[   24.712864]  phy_detach+0x24/0x168
[   24.716261]  phy_attach_direct+0x168/0x3a4
[   24.720352]  phylink_fwnode_phy_connect+0xc8/0x14c
[   24.725140]  phylink_of_phy_connect+0x1c/0x34
