Subject: [PATCH iwl-net 04/12] ice: call PTP link change only from link events
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 17:13:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821-jk-e825c-minimized-fixes-v1-4-9d0731eb4858@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821-jk-e825c-minimized-fixes-v1-0-9d0731eb4858@intel.com>

From: Arkadiusz Kubalewski <arkadiusz.kubalewski@intel.com>

Remove redundant ice_ptp_link_change() calls from ice_up_complete() and
ice_down(). These duplicate the call already made from
ice_handle_link_event(), creating three problems:

1. Double initialization on link-up: ice_handle_link_event() calls
   ice_ptp_link_change(true), then ice_up_complete() calls it again.
   The second call re-enters ice_ptp_port_phy_restart(), re-setting the
   calibrating flag and restarting the PHY timer while the first
   invocation's offset verification work (ov_work) may still be running.

2. Premature cleanup on administrative down: ice_down() calls
   ice_ptp_link_change(false) during ifconfig down or reset preparation,
   even when the physical link is still up. This clears timestamp state
   unnecessarily and can interfere with ongoing PTP operations.

3. Ordering dependency: ice_down()/ice_up_complete() are called during
   reset sequences where PTP may not be fully initialized, creating
   edge cases with partially configured state.

The link event handler is the correct and sufficient place to drive PTP
link state changes, as it reflects actual physical link transitions. Remove
the calls of ice_ptp_link_change from the ice_down()/ice_up() flows.

Initialize the link_up in ice_ptp_init() and ensure that we check and
restore the link status at the end of the rebuild flow, ensuring that we
initialize the PHY timer appropriately after a reset.

Fixes: 6b1ff5d39228 ("ice: always call ice_ptp_link_change and make it void")
