net: phy: honor eee_disabled_modes in phy_advertise_eee_all()

2026-06-01T15:54:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8baa7506d793f0636e3f6f01b01ef7be19674d06 ] phy_advertise_eee_all() copies supported_eee into advertising_eee unconditionally, overwriting any filtering applied during phy_probe() based on DT eee-broken-* properties or driver-populated eee_disabled_modes. genphy_c45_ethtool_set_eee() calls this helper when user space passes an empty advertisement, undoing the filtering. Apply the same eee_disabled_modes mask in phy_advertise_eee_all() so the filtering survives the copy, matching the pattern in phy_probe() and phy_support_eee().

net: phy: honor eee_disabled_modes in phy_support_eee()

2026-06-01T15:54:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3655063e083889ed4b79b7dda9cec65478dce09a ] phy_support_eee() copies supported_eee into advertising_eee unconditionally, overwriting any filtering applied during phy_probe() based on DT eee-broken-* properties or driver-populated eee_disabled_modes. MAC drivers that call phy_support_eee() after probe (e.g. bcmgenet, fec, lan743x, lan78xx, r8169) then cause the PHY to advertise EEE for modes the user marked as broken. The symptom is that ethtool --show-eee on the local interface reports "not supported" (supported & ~eee_disabled_modes is empty) while the link partner sees EEE negotiated and active. phy_probe() already filters advertising_eee via eee_disabled_modes after calling of_set_phy_eee_broken(). Apply the same mask in phy_support_eee() so the filtering survives the copy.

net: phy: fix a return path in get_phy_c45_ids()

2026-05-23T11:08:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6f533abe7bbad2eef1e42c639b6bb9dad2b02362 ] The return value of phy_c45_probe_present() is stored in "ret", not "phy_reg", fix this. "phy_reg" always has a positive value if we reach this return path (since it would have returned earlier otherwise), which means that the original goal of the patch of not considering -ENODEV fatal wasn't achieved.

It first takes triggers_list_lock and then RTNL. A classical AB-BA deadlock. phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not make any calls into the network stack which require protection. There is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

net: phy: initialize the port support based on the PHY's for OF ports

2026-02-13T01:44:55+00:00

With the phy_port infrastructure came an ethernet-connector binding, allowing to represent the MDI of a PHY in devicetree. This allows specifying the mediums and pairs of a port. Let's initialize the port's supported list based on what the PHY reports, so that we can then filter it with what the connector allows using.

net: phy: simplify PHY fixup registration

2026-01-21T02:56:46+00:00

Based on the fact that either bus_id-based matching or phy_uid-based matching is used, the code can be simplified. PHY_ANY_ID and PHY_ANY_UID are not needed. Ensure that phy_id_compare() is called only if phy_uid_mask isn't zero, because a zero value would always result in a match. In addition change the return value type of phy_needs_fixup() to bool.
