[PATCH net-next v2] net: dsa: motorcomm: Free the MIB block on port teardown
From: David Yang
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 09:51:56 EST
.setup() can run again within one registration: removing another switch
from the tree tears the whole tree down, and re-probing sets every
member switch up again.
The hardware reset at the start of .setup() brings the MIB counters back
to zero, but a MIB block kept across that cycle still holds the old
software buffer, so the next yt921x_mib_read() treats the small value as
a 32-bit wrap and adds 2^32 to every counter it extends.
The old claim, get_stats64() not being synchronized with
.port_teardown(), is not true, thus free the MIB block in
.port_teardown(), so the next setup allocates zeroed blocks.
Not carrying a fix tag since there are no known multi-chip yt921x users.
