From: Thomas Graziadei <thomas.grazia...@omicronenergy.com> The link state is not correctly set in the case that the network driver is reconfigured while the link state changes. The phy informs the gianfar driver, but gfar_update_link_state just exits and therefore looses the change event. The network driver remains in the old state until a new link event is sent.
A trace log from a possible scenario at bootup, when the link state in the network driver stays down even though the phy reports an up link. The test sends a SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl at the right moment (which calls reset_gfar): ip-1196 [000] 5.389270: phy_start: state: READY -> UP kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 5.389784: phy_start_aneg: state: UP -> AN kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 5.389788: phy_state_machine: state: UP -> AN kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 6.828064: adjust_link: eth0, link 0 -> 0 kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 6.828599: phy_state_machine: state: AN -> NOLINK test-1470 [000] 7.460422: reset_gfar: before locking GFAR_RESETTING test-1470 [000] 7.470806: phy_stop: state: NOLINK -> HALTED test-1470 [000] 7.478806: phy_start: state: HALTED -> RESUMING kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 7.479478: adjust_link: eth0, link 0 -> 1 kworker/0:2-1195 [000] 7.479482: phy_state_machine: state: RESUMING -> RUNNING test-1470 [000] 7.479826: reset_gfar: after locking GFAR_RESETTING To resolve the issue adjust_link is called after every GFAR_RESETTING lock section. Adjust_link itself checks if anything has changed and updates the link accordingly.
