[PATCH v2] net: mvneta_bm: add suspend/resume support to prevent crash after resume

From: Yun Zhou

Date: Sun Jun 14 2026 - 06:39:39 EST


The mvneta driver uses the hardware Buffer Manager (BM) for RX buffer
allocation. During suspend, mvneta disables its clock, causing BM to
lose all buffer address state. On resume, mvneta_bm_port_init() re-
attaches the BM pool to the NIC, but BM hardware returns stale/garbage
buffer addresses. When NAPI poll processes these buffers, DMA cache
sync hits an invalid virtual address causing a kernel panic:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address b0000080
PC is at v7_dma_inv_range
Call trace:

kthread from ret_from_fork+0x14/0x28

Fix by adding suspend/resume callbacks to the BM driver:

- suspend: drain all buffers (with DMA unmapping), free the BPPE
regions, and reset pool state to FREE before stopping BM and gating
the clock.

- resume: enable the clock and reinitialize BM defaults. Pool
allocation and buffer refill are handled by mvneta_resume() through
the normal mvneta_bm_port_init() path, which sees pools as FREE and
performs full initialization identical to probe.

Add a device_link (DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER) in mvneta_probe to
guarantee BM resumes before mvneta and suspends after mvneta.

v2:
- Drain buffers via mvneta_bm_bufs_free() in suspend instead of only
stopping BM and gating the clock. This ensures proper DMA unmapping
and avoids buffer leaks.
- Free the BPPE DMA-coherent region in suspend so that resume takes
the full probe-time initialization path (alloc + fill), eliminating
the need to modify mvneta_bm_pool_create().
- Reset pool type to MVNETA_BM_FREE in suspend so mvneta_bm_pool_use()
correctly re-creates and refills pools on resume.
- Check clk_prepare_enable() return value in resume.
- Add device_link between mvneta (consumer) and mvneta_bm (supplier)
to guarantee correct suspend/resume ordering.
