At times there were 2 different implementation (this and the one from Sean) but Sean agreed that this can be picked and used in favor of his implementation as long as his case with race condition is correctly handled. --- First the PCS fwnode: The concept is to implement a producer-consumer API similar to other subsystem like clock or PHY. That seems to be the best solution to the problem as PCS driver needs to be detached from phylink and implement a simple way to provide a PCS while maintaining support for probe defer or driver removal. To keep the implementation simple, the PCS driver devs needs some collaboration to correctly implement this. This is O.K. as helper to correctly implement this are provided hence it's really a matter of following a pattern to correct follow removal of a PCS driver. A PCS provider have to implement and call fwnode_pcs_add_provider() in probe function and define an xlate function to define how the PCS should be provided based on the requested interface and phandle spec defined in fwnode (based on the #pcs-cells) fwnode_pcs_get() is provided to provide a specific PCS declared in fwnode at index. A simple xlate function is provided for simple single PCS implementation, fwnode_pcs_simple_get. A PCS provider on driver removal should first call fwnode_pcs_del_provider() to delete itself as a provider and then release the PCS from phylink with phylink_release_pcs() under rtnl lock. --- Second PCS handling in phylink: We have the PCS problem for the only reason that in initial implementation, we permitted way too much flexibility to MAC driver and things started to deviate. At times we couldn't think SoC would start to put PCS outside the MAC hence it was OK to assume they would live in the same driver. With the introduction of 10g in more consumer devices, we are observing a rapid growth of this pattern with multiple PCS external to MAC. To put a stop on this, the only solution is to give back to phylink control on PCS handling and enforce more robust supported interface definition from both MAC and PCS side. It's suggested to read patch 0003 of this series for more info, here a brief explaination of the idea: This series introduce handling of PCS in phylink and try to deprecate .mac_select_pcs. Phylink now might contain a linked list of available PCS and those will be used for PCS selection on phylink_major_config. MAC driver needs to define pcs_interfaces mask in phylink_config for every interface that needs a dedicated PCS. These PCS needs to be provided to phylink at phylink_create time by setting the available_pcs and num_available_pcs in phylink_config. A helper to parse PCS from fwnode is provided fwnode_phylink_pcs_parse() that will fill a preallocated array of PCS. (the same function can be used to get the number of PCS defined in DT, more info in patch 0005) phylink_create() will fill the internal PCS list with the passed array of PCS. phylink_major_config and other user of .mac_select_pcs are adapted to make use of this new PCS list. The supported interface value is also moved internally to phylink struct. This is to handle late removal and addition of PCS. (the bonus effect to this is giving phylink a clear idea of what is actually supported by the MAC and his constraint with PCS) The supported interface mask in phylink is done by OR the supported_interfaces in phylink_config with every PCS in PCS list. PCS removal is supported by forcing a mac_config, refresh the supported interfaces and run a phy_resolve(). PCS late addition is supported by introducing a global notifier for PCS provider. If a phylink have the pcs_interfaces mask not zero, it's registered to this notifier. PCS provider will emit a global PCS add event to signal any interface that a new PCS might be avialable. The function will then check if the PCS is related to the MAC fwnode and add it accordingly. A user for this new implementation is provided as an Airoha PCS driver. This was also tested downstream with the IPQ95xx QCOM SoC and with the help of Daniel also on the various Mediatek MT7988 SoC with both SFP cage implementation and DSA attached. Lots of tests were done with driver unbind/bind and with interface up/down also by adding print to make sure major_config_fail gets correctly triggered and reset once the PCS comes back. The dedicated commits have longer description on the implementation so it's suggested to also check there for additional info. It's worth to mention that OpenWrt is currently using this on Mediatek SoC and QCOM ipq807x/ipq60xx/ipq50xx and Airoha are already ported in staging tree for testing. --- Changes v6: - Rebase on top of net-next - Add Documentation files - Add fw_devlink patch - Fix some comments typo - Rework the airoha_eth.c implementation with new multi serdes code - Extend PCS code with PCIe and USB support - Align schema to new property Changes v5: - Rebase on top of net-next - Use the new force_major_config - Reword some comments and commit description - Return -ENODEV instead of -EPROBE_DEFER to perevent race condition - Drop phy_interface_copy patch (Russell pushed an equivalent version) Changes v4: - Move patch 0002 phy_interface_copy to 0002 (fix bisectability problem) - Address review from Lorenzo for Airoha ethernet driver - Fix kdoc error with missing Return (actually missing : before Return) - Fix UNMET dependency reported error for CONFIG_FWNODE_PCS - Revert to pcs.c instead of core.c (due to name conflict with other kmod) - Fix clang compilation error for Airoha PCS driver - Add missing inline function to pcs.h function Changes v3: - Out of RFC - Fix various spelling mistake - Drop circular dependency patch - Complete Airoha Ethernet phylink integration - Introduce .pcs_link_down PCS OP Changes v2: - Switch to fwnode - Implement PCS provider notifier - Better split changes - Move supported_interfaces to phylink - Add circular dependency patch - Rework handling with indirect addition/removal and trigger of phylink_resolve() Christian Marangi (12): net: phylink: keep and use MAC supported_interfaces in phylink struct net: phylink: introduce internal phylink PCS handling net: phylink: add phylink_release_pcs() to externally release a PCS net: pcs: implement Firmware node support for PCS driver net: phylink: support late PCS provider attach net: Document PCS subsystem MAINTAINERS: add myself as PCS subsystem maintainer of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for "pcs-handle" net: phylink: add .pcs_link_down PCS OP dt-bindings: net: pcs: Document support for Airoha Ethernet PCS net: pcs: airoha: add PCS driver for Airoha AN7581 SoC net: airoha: add phylink support .../bindings/net/pcs/airoha,pcs.yaml | 260 ++ Documentation/networking/index.rst | 1 + Documentation/networking/pcs.rst | 228 ++ MAINTAINERS | 9 + drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c | 167 +- drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.h | 3 + drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_regs.h | 12 + drivers/net/pcs/Kconfig | 8 + drivers/net/pcs/Makefile | 3 + drivers/net/pcs/airoha/Kconfig | 12 + drivers/net/pcs/airoha/Makefile | 7 + drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-airoha-common.c | 1313 +++++++++++ drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-airoha.h | 1309 +++++++++++ drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-an7581.c | 2093 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/pcs/pcs.c | 241 ++ drivers/net/phy/phylink.c | 316 ++- drivers/of/property.c | 2 + include/linux/pcs/pcs-provider.h | 41 + include/linux/pcs/pcs.h | 104 + include/linux/phylink.h | 20 + 21 files changed, 6123 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/pcs/airoha,pcs.yaml create mode 100644 Documentation/networking/pcs.rst create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/airoha/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/airoha/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-airoha-common.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-airoha.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/airoha/pcs-an7581.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/pcs/pcs.c create mode 100644 include/linux/pcs/pcs-provider.h create mode 100644 include/linux/pcs/pcs.h -- 2.53.0
