net: phy: fixed_phy: let fixed_phy_unregister free the phy_device

2025-11-13T20:34:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit a0f849c1cc6df0db9083b4c81c05a5456b1ed0fb ] fixed_phy_register() creates and registers the phy_device. To be symmetric, we should not only unregister, but also free the phy_device in fixed_phy_unregister(). This allows to simplify code in users. Note wrt of_phy_deregister_fixed_link(): put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev) and phy_device_free(phydev) are identical.

net: dsa: Fix possible memory leaks in dsa_loop_init()

There are two reasons for memleak in dsa_loop_init(). First, fixed_phy_register() create and register phy_device: fixed_phy_register() get_phy_device() phy_device_create() # freed by phy_device_free() phy_device_register() # freed by phy_device_remove() But fixed_phy_unregister() only calls phy_device_remove(). So the memory allocated in phy_device_create() is leaked. Second, when mdio_driver_register() fail in dsa_loop_init(), it just returns and there is no cleanup for phydevs. Fix the problems by catching the error of mdio_driver_register() in dsa_loop_init(), then calling both fixed_phy_unregister() and phy_device_free() to release phydevs. Also add a function for phydevs cleanup to avoid duplacate.

net: dsa: pass extack to .port_bridge_join driver methods

2022-02-27T11:06:14+00:00

As FDB isolation cannot be enforced between VLAN-aware bridges in lack of hardware assistance like extra FID bits, it seems plausible that many DSA switches cannot do it. Therefore, they need to reject configurations with multiple VLAN-aware bridges from the two code paths that can transition towards that state: - joining a VLAN-aware bridge - toggling VLAN awareness on an existing bridge The .port_vlan_filtering method already propagates the netlink extack to the driver, let's propagate it from .port_bridge_join too, to make sure that the driver can use the same function for both.

net: dsa: add a "tx_fwd_offload" argument to ->port_bridge_join

2021-12-08T22:31:16+00:00

This is a preparation patch for the removal of the DSA switch methods ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload() and ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_unoffload(). The plan is for the switch to report whether it offloads TX forwarding directly as a response to the ->port_bridge_join() method. This change deals with the noisy portion of converting all existing function prototypes to take this new boolean pointer argument. The bool is placed in the cross-chip notifier structure for bridge join, and a reference to it is provided to drivers. In the next change, DSA will then actually look at this value instead of calling ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload().

net: dsa: keep the bridge_dev and bridge_num as part of the same structure

2021-12-08T22:31:16+00:00

The main desire behind this is to provide coherent bridge information to the fast path without locking. For example, right now we set dp->bridge_dev and dp->bridge_num from separate code paths, it is theoretically possible for a packet transmission to read these two port properties consecutively and find a bridge number which does not correspond with the bridge device. Another desire is to start passing more complex bridge information to dsa_switch_ops functions. For example, with FDB isolation, it is expected that drivers will need to be passed the bridge which requested an FDB/MDB entry to be offloaded, and along with that bridge_dev, the associated bridge_num should be passed too, in case the driver might want to implement an isolation scheme based on that number. We already pass the {bridge_dev, bridge_num} pair to the TX forwarding offload switch API, however we'd like to remove that and squash it into the basic bridge join/leave API. So that means we need to pass this pair to the bridge join/leave API. During dsa_port_bridge_leave, first we unset dp->bridge_dev, then we call the driver's .port_bridge_leave with what used to be our dp->bridge_dev, but provided as an argument. When bridge_dev and bridge_num get folded into a single structure, we need to preserve this behavior in dsa_port_bridge_leave: we need a copy of what used to be in dp->bridge. Switch drivers check bridge membership by comparing dp->bridge_dev with the provided bridge_dev, but now, if we provide the struct dsa_bridge as a pointer, they cannot keep comparing dp->bridge to the provided pointer, since this only points to an on-stack copy. To make this obvious and prevent driver writers from forgetting and doing stupid things, in this new API, the struct dsa_bridge is provided as a full structure (not very large, contains an int and a pointer) instead of a pointer. An explicit comparison function needs to be used to determine bridge membership: dsa_port_offloads_bridge(). Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Alvin Šipraga Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown

2021-09-19T11:08:37+00:00

Lino reports that on his system with bcmgenet as DSA master and KSZ9897 as a switch, rebooting or shutting down never works properly. What does the bcmgenet driver have special to trigger this, that other DSA masters do not? It has an implementation of ->shutdown which simply calls its ->remove implementation. Otherwise said, it unregisters its network interface on shutdown. This message can be seen in a loop, and it hangs the reboot process there: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 3 So why 3? A usage count of 1 is normal for a registered network interface, and any virtual interface which links itself as an upper of that will increment it via dev_hold. In the case of DSA, this is the call path: dsa_slave_create -> netdev_upper_dev_link -> __netdev_upper_dev_link -> __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert -> dev_hold So a DSA switch with 3 interfaces will result in a usage count elevated by two, and netdev_wait_allrefs will wait until they have gone away. Other stacked interfaces, like VLAN, watch NETDEV_UNREGISTER events and delete themselves, but DSA cannot just vanish and go poof, at most it can unbind itself from the switch devices, but that must happen strictly earlier compared to when the DSA master unregisters its net_device, so reacting on the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is way too late. It seems that it is a pretty established pattern to have a driver's ->shutdown hook redirect to its ->remove hook, so the same code is executed regardless of whether the driver is unbound from the device, or the system is just shutting down. As Florian puts it, it is quite a big hammer for bcmgenet to unregister its net_device during shutdown, but having a common code path with the driver unbind helps ensure it is well tested. So DSA, for better or for worse, has to live with that and engage in an arms race of implementing the ->shutdown hook too, from all individual drivers, and do something sane when paired with masters that unregister their net_device there. The only sane thing to do, of course, is to unlink from the master. However, complications arise really quickly. The pattern of redirecting ->shutdown to ->remove is not unique to bcmgenet or even to net_device drivers. In fact, SPI controllers do it too (see dspi_shutdown -> dspi_remove), and presumably, I2C controllers and MDIO controllers do it too (this is something I have not researched too deeply, but even if this is not the case today, it is certainly plausible to happen in the future, and must be taken into consideration). Since DSA switches might be SPI devices, I2C devices, MDIO devices, the insane implication is that for the exact same DSA switch device, we might have both ->shutdown and ->remove getting called. So we need to do something with that insane environment. The pattern I've come up with is "if this, then not that", so if either ->shutdown or ->remove gets called, we set the device's drvdata to NULL, and in the other hook, we check whether the drvdata is NULL and just do nothing. This is probably not necessary for platform devices, just for devices on buses, but I would really insist for consistency among drivers, because when code is copy-pasted, it is not always copy-pasted from the best sources. So depending on whether the DSA switch's ->remove or ->shutdown will get called first, we cannot really guarantee even for the same driver if rebooting will result in the same code path on all platforms. But nonetheless, we need to do something minimally reasonable on ->shutdown too to fix the bug. Of course, the ->remove will do more (a full teardown of the tree, with all data structures freed, and this is why the bug was not caught for so long). The new ->shutdown method is kept separate from dsa_unregister_switch not because we couldn't have unregistered the switch, but simply in the interest of doing something quick and to the point. The big question is: does the DSA switch's ->shutdown get called earlier than the DSA master's ->shutdown? If not, there is still a risk that we might still trigger the WARN_ON in unregister_netdevice that says we are attempting to unregister a net_device which has uppers. That's no good. Although the reference to the master net_device won't physically go away even if DSA's ->shutdown comes afterwards, remember we have a dev_hold on it. The answer to that question lies in this comment above device_link_add: * A side effect of the link creation is re-ordering of dpm_list and the * devices_kset list by moving the consumer device and all devices depending * on it to the ends of these lists (that does not happen to devices that have * not been registered when this function is called). so the fact that DSA uses device_link_add towards its master is not exactly for nothing. device_shutdown() walks devices_kset from the back, so this is our guarantee that DSA's shutdown happens before the master's shutdown.

net: dsa: propagate extack to .port_vlan_filtering

2021-02-15T01:38:12+00:00

Some drivers can't dynamically change the VLAN filtering option, or impose some restrictions, it would be nice to propagate this info through netlink instead of printing it to a kernel log that might never be read. Also netlink extack includes the module that emitted the message, which means that it's easier to figure out which ones are driver-generated errors as opposed to command misuse.

Allow drivers to communicate their restrictions to user space directly, instead of printing to the kernel log. Where the conversion would have been lossy and things like VLAN ID could no longer be conveyed (due to the lack of support for printf format specifier in netlink extack), I chose to keep the messages in full form to the kernel log only, and leave it up to individual driver maintainers to move more messages to extack.
