From 30c57f073449e09ae42f908bfff56c08c8751a6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sekhar Nori Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 17:34:28 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix race condition during open() TI's cpsw driver handles both OF and non-OF case for phy connect. Unfortunately of_phy_connect() returns NULL on error while phy_connect() returns ERR_PTR(). To handle this, cpsw_slave_open() overrides the return value from phy_connect() to make it NULL or error. This leaves a small window, where cpsw_adjust_link() may be invoked for a slave while slave->phy pointer is temporarily set to -ENODEV (or some other error) before it is finally set to NULL. _cpsw_adjust_link() only handles the NULL case, and an oops results when ERR_PTR() is seen by it. Note that cpsw_adjust_link() checks PHY status for each slave whenever it is invoked. It can so happen that even though phy_connect() for a given slave returns error, _cpsw_adjust_link() is still called for that slave because the link status of another slave changed. Fix this by using a temporary pointer to store return value of {of_}phy_connect() and do a one-time write to slave->phy.
