[PATCH net v4 2/6] net: phy: unregister SFP upstream before port cleanup
From: Xuanqiang Luo
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 03:05:02 EST
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 4497f5028675 ("net: phy: Clean the phy_ports after unregistering
the downstream SFP bus") established that an SFP upstream must be
unregistered before its phy_ports are destroyed because SFP callbacks
may access these ports.
phy_setup_ports() does not follow this order when a later port setup
step fails after phy_sfp_probe() succeeds. It destroys the SFP phy_port
and leaves phy_probe() to unregister the upstream later, creating a race
between port destruction and SFP upstream callbacks.
The error unwind is also split across three functions. If
phy_setup_sfp_port() fails, phy_sfp_probe() leaves the upstream
registered and relies on phy_probe() to remove it after
phy_setup_ports() returns.
Make each layer unwind the resources it successfully set up. Unregister
only the upstream in phy_sfp_probe() when SFP port setup fails, since
the failed port has already been destroyed. Add phy_sfp_release() for a
successful SFP probe, and make phy_setup_ports() use it before cleaning
up the remaining ports. Once phy_setup_ports() has rolled back all port
setup, make phy_probe() skip this cleanup.
Fixes: 589e934d2735 ("net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representation")
