[PATCH net] net: mvpp2: fix condition for setting up link interrupt

[Thomas Bogendoerfer]

Set up link interrupt if connection is handled by phylink otherwise
link state change detection for in-band-status doesn't work.

Hi Thomas

Please ensure the maintainers of the driver are at least on Cc:

This still looks fishy to me.  mvpp2_link_status_isr() has handling in
it that is safe to be called for non-phylink cases, so presumably the
right fix is to drop the "&& !port->phylink" completely?

I've hoped my script will get them, but it used --nogit-fallback, which prevented
finding maintainers... Sorry about that

Hi Russell

get_maintainer.pl does not list you, so it can be hard to know who
those other interested parties are. I have local knowledge, so added
you :-)

sorry about missing maintainers, but how could I find "other interested
parties" ? /me thought that's handled by sending to mailinglists, which I did...

Well, I don't maintain the driver, so get_maintainer.pl wouldn't list
me in any case.

That's right, mvpp2_link_status_isr() is safe to be called with or
without phylink being used. This IRQ is reporting the link status, and
is used when using in-band status or when phylink isn't used.

We do have a similar fix locally, which looks like:

                valid = true;
        }

-       if (priv->hw_version == MVPP22 && port->link_irq && !port->phylink) {
+       if (priv->hw_version == MVPP22 && port->link_irq &&
+           (!port->phylink || !port->has_phy)) {
                err = request_irq(port->link_irq, mvpp2_link_status_isr, 0,
                                  dev->name, port);
                if (err) {

We haven't submitted it yet, as we saw several issues when a port has no
PHY and is using the XLG MAC (so, not on the mcbin). We currently are
working on them.

I don't like to ask this, as you submitted the fix first, but I do think
we should hold back a bit while we figure out proper solutions. If you
need in-band status to be working properly, we could share out current
local branch so you can test and validate it do solve your issue.

Thanks!

I also thought about it, and your patch makes more sense. It's more about
having no ethernet phy and therefore looking at the serdes for link status.
The system I'm running on has a few internal nodes behind a switch. The
switch propagates the external link state to the nodes via serdes lines.

I've tested your patch and it works in my setup.

Thomas.

Hi Antoine,

Today, I received an email from Willy Tarreau about this issue which
persists to this day with mainline kernels.

Willy reminded me that I've been carrying a fix for this, but because
of your concerns as stated above, I haven't bothered submitting it
through fear of causing regressions (which you seem to know about):

   http://git.armlinux.org.uk/cgit/linux-arm.git/commit/?h=mvpp2&id=67ef3bff255b26cc0d6def8ca99c4e8ae9937727

Just like Thomas' case, the current code is broken for phylink when
in-band negotiation is being used - such as with the 1G/2.5G SFP
slot on the Macchiatobin.

It seems that resolving the issue has stalled.  Can I merge my patch,
or could you state exactly what the problems are with it so that
someone else can look into the issues please?

Thanks.

Just to provide some context, I upgraded my mcbin-single-shot from 5.1.5
to 5.4.2 with everything working except that the SFP links would never get
up anymore (either in ethtool or ip link). I've been digging quite a bit,
looking at any DT change or out-of-tree patches and found the one above
with the exact description of my issue, which appeared to totally make
sense. Applying it alone fixed the issue, so unless there are more
serious downsides than unusable ethernet ports, it would be nice to have
it merged.

Thanks!
Willy
