Commit 35b5f6b1a aka [PHYLIB: Locking fixes for PHY I/O potentially sleeping]
changed the phydev->lock from spinlock into a mutex. Now, the following
code path got triggered while NFS was unavailable:

I found out that the same code path may be trigger in
- drivers/net/ucc_geth.c
- drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx.c
- drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c
other drivers use phy_stop() in ->close only.

Hmm.. I'm not sure what the best solution is to this. Make the
stop_gfar() call happen in a workqueue, and make a similar change to
ucc_geth, fec_mpc52xx, and fs_enet? Modify phy_stop() to do the work in
a workqueue conditionally if in interrupt context? Between these two
I'd lean toward the latter.
Does anyone have any better ideas?

Recently, I described a (I think) similar problem:
(http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2008-July/059686.html)
===
Hello,
today, I was debugging a kernel crash on a board with a MPC5200B using
2.6.26-rc9. I found the following code in drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx.c:
static irqreturn_t mpc52xx_fec_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
[...]
/* on fifo error, soft-reset fec */
if (ievent & (FEC_IEVENT_RFIFO_ERROR | FEC_IEVENT_XFIFO_ERROR)) {
if (net_ratelimit() && (ievent & FEC_IEVENT_RFIFO_ERROR))
dev_warn(&dev->dev, "FEC_IEVENT_RFIFO_ERROR\n");
if (net_ratelimit() && (ievent & FEC_IEVENT_XFIFO_ERROR))
dev_warn(&dev->dev, "FEC_IEVENT_XFIFO_ERROR\n");
mpc52xx_fec_reset(dev);
netif_wake_queue(dev);
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
[...]
}
Calling mpc52xx_fec_reset() from interrupt context is bad, at least
because
a) it calls phy_write, which contains BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
b) it calls mpc52xx_fec_hw_init, which has a delay-loop to check
if the reset was successful (1..50 us)
I assume the proper thing to do is to set a flag in the ISR and handle
the soft reset later in some other context. Having never dealt with the
network core and its drivers so far, I am not sure which place would be
the right one to perform the soft reset. To not make things worse, I
hope people with more insight to network stuff can deliver a suitable
solution to this problem.
All the best,
Wolfram

If I look at tg3.c than exactly this is done. Others call it only on
close(). I guess this depends very much on driver's logic :)
If nobody minds, than I would assume that tg3.c is a good example and I
would move the timout path into a workqueu.

The phylock was once a spinlock but got changed into a mutex via

I moved it into a workqueue, this is what tg3 does.
I would convert the other three drivers unless $dude suggests a better
method or somebody else takes care....
