SubjectRE: [EXT] Re: [PATCH net] net: phylink: fix link state on phy-connect
Date
The attached p21 patch doesn't change anything.
But another one from the mail-text is good
void phylink_disconnect_phy(struct phylink *pl)
+ pl->phy_state.link = false;

There still (not for my MRVL-PP2) problem:
It is expected that on ifconfig-down the callback
pl->ops->mac_link_down(ndev, pl->link_an_mode);
would be called, but it isn't

Hi,

I think this is covered in my "phy" branch - but could probably do with further testing, specifically this patch (which I've attached):

"phylink: ensure we take the link down when phylink_stop() is called"

This takes the link down on the MAC side synchronously when phylink_stop() is called. However, I think your case might also benefit from this patch - please test the patch referred to without this change, and let me know if you need this change to solve your problem:

diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c b/drivers/net/phy/phylink.c index 8f43f8779317..c90ad50204b0 100644

Thanks.
