Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: fix regression with AX88772A PHY driver
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 14:25:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1qiEFs-007g7b-Lq@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)

Marek reports that a deadlock occurs with the AX88772A PHY used on the
ASIX USB network driver:

asix 1-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHY [usb-001:003:10] driver [Asix Electronics AX88772A] (irq=POLL)
Asix Electronics AX88772A usb-001:003:10: attached PHY driver(mii_bus:phy_addr=usb-001:003:10, irq=POLL)
asix 1-1.4:1.0 eth0: register 'asix' at usb-12110000.usb-1.4, ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, a2:99:b6:cd:11:eb
asix 1-1.4:1.0 eth0: configuring for phy/internal link mode

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.6.0-rc1-00239-g8da77df649c4-dirty #13949 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
kworker/3:3/71 is trying to acquire lock:
c6c704cc (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: phy_start_aneg+0x1c/0x38

but task is already holding lock:
c6c704cc (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: phy_state_machine+0x100/0x2b8

This is because we now consistently call phy_process_state_change()
while holding phydev->lock, but the AX88772A PHY driver then goes on
to call phy_start_aneg() which tries to grab the same lock - causing
deadlock.

Fix this by exporting the unlocked version, and use this in the PHY
driver instead.

Reviewing the other PHY drivers, no others appear impacted, just this
one.
