[PATCH net-next 10/12] net: dpaa2-eth: serialize changes to priv->mac with a mutex

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 09:14:36 EST


The dpaa2 architecture permits dynamic connections between objects on
the fsl-mc bus, specifically between a DPNI object (represented by a
struct net_device) and a DPMAC object (represented by a struct phylink).

The DPNI driver is notified when those connections are created/broken
through the dpni_irq0_handler_thread() method. To ensure that ethtool
operations, as well as netdev up/down operations serialize with the
connection/disconnection of the DPNI with a DPMAC,
dpni_irq0_handler_thread() takes the rtnl_lock() to block those other
operations from taking place.

There is code called by dpaa2_mac_connect() which wants to acquire the
rtnl_mutex once again, see phylink_create() -> phylink_register_sfp() ->
sfp_bus_add_upstream() -> rtnl_lock(). So the strategy doesn't quite
work out, even though it's fairly simple.

Create a different strategy, where all code paths in the dpaa2-eth
driver access priv->mac only while they are holding priv->mac_lock.
The phylink instance is not created or connected to the PHY under the
priv->mac_lock, but only assigned to priv->mac then. This will eliminate
the reliance on the rtnl_mutex.

Add lockdep annotations and put comments where holding the lock is not
necessary, and priv->mac can be dereferenced freely.
