[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: bcmgenet: recover from a failed resume

From: Nicolai Buchwitz

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 05:53:24 EST


A resume that fails in bcmgenet_init_dma() returns with the interface
still IFF_UP and the datapath gone. The next ifdown runs the teardown
a second time and napi_disable() waits for a NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit that
nothing will clear:

task:ip state:D
usleep_range_state+0xec/0x158
napi_disable_locked+0x254/0x318
napi_disable+0x3c/0x68
bcmgenet_netif_stop+0x1c8/0x318
bcmgenet_close+0x24/0xd0
__dev_close_many+0x18c/0x310

RTNL is held across the wait, so everything else blocks behind it.

The same resume gates the clock and detaches the device. Close releases
the clock a second time and ifup fails with -ENODEV. The hardware filters
stay armed, so the next WoL suspend wakes on any frame. That suspend sets
CMD_RX_EN for magic packet detection, so the WoL resume reuses rings that
are gone.

A failed resume should leave a state the ordinary paths can handle. Clear
rx_cbs and tx_cbs as they are freed so they answer whether a datapath
exists, and leave the hardware as bcmgenet_resume_noirq() set it up so
close and suspend finish the teardown once. The WoL resume rebuilds
instead, so stop the PHY first, phy_start() only takes PHY_READY or
PHY_HALTED.

Flagged in a sashiko review and reproduced on a CM4 by forcing the resume
allocation to fail.

Fixes: b6e978e50444 ("net: bcmgenet: add suspend/resume callbacks")
Fixes: 254f3239dd07 ("net: bcmgenet: revise suspend/resume") # for the WoL parts
