Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 02/12] net: phylink: introduce internal phylink PCS handling
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 17:11:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609151212.29469-3-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609151212.29469-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Introduce internal handling of PCS for phylink. This is an alternative
way to .mac_select_pcs that moves the selection logic of the PCS entirely
to phylink with the usage of the supported_interface value in the PCS
struct.
MAC should now provide a callback to fill the available PCS in
phylink_config in .fill_available_pcs and fill the .num_available_pcs with
the number of elements in the array. MAC should also define a new bitmap,
pcs_interfaces, in phylink_config to define for what interface mode a
dedicated PCS is required.
On phylink_create(), an array of PCS pointer is allocated of size
.num_available_pcs from phylink_config and .fill_available_pcs from
phylink_config is called passing as args the just allocated array and
the number of available element in it.
MAC will fill this passed array with all the available PCS.
This array is then parsed and a linked list of PCS is created based on
the allocated PCS array filled by MAC via .fill_available_pcs().
Also the supported_interface value in phylink struct is updated with the
new supported_interface from the provided PCS.
On phylink_start() every PCS in phylink PCS list gets attached to the
phylink instance. This is done by setting the phylink value in
phylink_pcs struct to the phylink instance.
On phylink_stop(), every PCS in phylink PCS list is detached from the
phylink instance. This is done by setting the phylink value in
phylink_pcs struct to NULL.
phylink_validate_mac_and_pcs(), phylink_major_config() and
phylink_inband_caps() are updated to support this new implementation
with the PCS list stored in phylink.
They will make use of phylink_validate_pcs_interface() that will loop
for every PCS in the phylink PCS available list and find one that supports
the passed interface.
phylink_validate_pcs_interface() applies the same logic of .mac_select_pcs
where if a supported_interface value is not set for the PCS struct, then
it's assumed every interface is supported.
A MAC is required to implement either a .mac_select_pcs or make use of
the PCS list implementation. Implementing both will result in a fail
on MAC/PCS validation.
A MAC defining .num_available_pcs in phylink_config MUST also define a
.fill_available_pcs or phylink_create() will fail with an negative error.
phylink value in phylink_pcs struct with this implementation is used to
track from PCS side when it's attached to a phylink instance. PCS driver
will make use of this information to correctly detach from a phylink
instance if needed.
The .mac_select_pcs implementation is not changed but it's expected that
every MAC driver migrates to the new implementation to later deprecate
and remove .mac_select_pcs.
