Subject: [PATCH net v4] net: dsa: mt7530: fix .get_stats64 sleeping in atomic context
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:10:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16efd278e4f17776ccfbf8491e5be71a4689c137.1777385305.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)
The .get_stats64 callback runs in atomic context, but on
MDIO-connected switches every register read acquires the MDIO bus
mutex, which can sleep:

For MDIO-connected switches, poll MIB counters asynchronously using a
delayed workqueue every second and let .get_stats64 return the cached
values under a spinlock. A mod_delayed_work() call on each read
triggers an immediate refresh so counters stay responsive when queried
more frequently.
MMIO-connected switches (MT7988, EN7581, AN7583) are not affected
because their regmap does not sleep, so they continue to read MIB
counters directly in .get_stats64.
Fixes: 88c810f35ed5 ("net: dsa: mt7530: implement .get_stats64")

v4:
* extract mt7530_stats_refresh() helper from mt7530_stats_poll()
-> mt7530_stats_poll() now just refreshes and re-arms
* call helper synchronously in mt753x_setup() to seed the cache
* avoid zeroed counters during the first poll interval
* avoid INITIAL_JIFFIES vs stats_last==0 wraparound on 32-bit
* swap deprecated system_wq for system_percpu_wq in get_stats64
* keeps on-demand refresh on the same queue as schedule_*_work
v3:
* move `stats_last` access under the spinlock to avoid potential race
v2:
* use spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() to prevent potential deadlock
* rate-limit mod_delayed_work() refresh to at most once per 100ms
* move cancel_delayed_work_sync() after dsa_unregister_switch()
* add mt753x_teardown() callback to cancel the stats work
* fix commit message
