Re: [PATCH] net: usb: lan78xx: Use phy_mac_interrupt() for interrupt handling

Sebastian suggested to try this here:

--- a/drivers/net/usb/lan78xx.c
+++ b/drivers/net/usb/lan78xx.c
@@ -1264,8 +1264,11 @@ static void lan78xx_status(struct lan78xx_net *dev, struct urb *urb)
netif_dbg(dev, link, dev->net, "PHY INTR: 0x%08x\n", intdata);
lan78xx_defer_kevent(dev, EVENT_LINK_RESET);

- if (dev->domain_data.phyirq > 0)
+ if (dev->domain_data.phyirq > 0) {
+ local_irq_disable();
generic_handle_irq(dev->domain_data.phyirq);
+ local_irq_enable();
+ }
} else
netdev_warn(dev->net,
"unexpected interrupt: 0x%08x\n", intdata);

While this gets rid of the warning, the networking interface is not
really stable:

Eventually, the rootfs can be loaded and the system boots. Though the
system is not really usable because it often stalls:


root@debian:~# apt update
Ign:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch Release
Reading package lists... 0%


I don't see this with the irqdomain code reverted.
