phy: Fix phy_device_free memory leak

2013-02-28T20:37:30Z

Fix memory leak in phy_device_free() for the case when phy_device* returned by phy_device_create() is not registered in the system. Bug description: phy_device_create() sets name of kobject using dev_set_name(), which allocates memory using kvasprintf(), but this memory isn't freed if the underlying device isn't registered properly, because kobject_cleanup() is not called in that case. This can happen (and actually is happening on our machines) if phy_device_register(), called by mdiobus_scan(), fails. Patch description: Embedded struct device is initialized in phy_device_create() and it counterpart phy_device_free() just drops one reference to the device, which leads to proper deinitialization including releasing the kobject name memory.

net: phy: remove flags argument from phy_{attach, connect, connect_direct}

2013-01-14T20:11:50Z

The flags argument of the phy_{attach,connect,connect_direct} functions is then used to assign a struct phy_device dev_flags with its value. All callers but the tg3 driver pass the flag 0, which results in the underlying PHY drivers in drivers/net/phy/ not being able to actually use any of the flags they would set in dev_flags. This patch gets rid of the flags argument, and passes phydev->dev_flags to the internal PHY library call phy_attach_direct() such that drivers which actually modify a phy device dev_flags get the value preserved for use by the underlying phy driver.

phylib: Support registering a bunch of drivers

2012-07-09T07:10:56Z

If registering of one of them fails, all already registered drivers of this module will be unregistered. Use the new register/unregister functions in all drivers registering more than one driver. amd.c, realtek.c: Simplify: directly return registration result. Tested with broadcom.c All others compile-tested. Signed-off-by: Christian Hohnstaedt Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

phy: Fix warning in get_phy_device().

2012-06-28T04:28:14Z

drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c: In function ‘get_phy_device’: drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:340:14: warning: ‘phy_id’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] GCC can't see that when we return zero we always initialize phy_id and that's the only path where we use it. Initialize phy_id to zero to shut it up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev/phy: Handle IEEE802.3 clause 45 Ethernet PHYs

2012-06-28T04:23:24Z

The IEEE802.3 clause 45 MDIO bus protocol allows for directly addressing PHY registers using a 21 bit address, and is used by many 10G Ethernet PHYS. Already existing is the ability of MDIO bus drivers to use clause 45, with the MII_ADDR_C45 flag. Here we add struct phy_c45_device_ids to hold the device identifier registers present in clause 45. struct phy_device gets a couple of new fields: c45_ids to hold the identifiers and is_c45 to signal that it is clause 45. get_phy_device() gets a new parameter is_c45 to indicate that the PHY device should use the clause 45 protocol, and its callers are adjusted to pass false. The follow-on patch to of_mdio.c will pass true where appropriate. EXPORT phy_device_create() so that the follow-on patch to of_mdio.c can use it to create phy devices for PHYs, that have non-standard device identifier registers, based on the device tree bindings.

phy: Use pr_

2012-06-11T23:58:24Z

Use a more current logging style. Add pr_fmt and missing newlines. Remove embedded prefixes. Neaten phy_print_status to avoid using KERN_CONT. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev/phy: Make get_phy_id() static and quit EXPORTing it.

2012-05-16T04:59:12Z

This function is only referenced from within phy_device.c, so there is no reason to export it. In fact, we can make it static. Signed-off-by: David Daney Acked-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Remove useless get_driver()/put_driver() calls

2012-01-25T00:00:35Z

As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch (as1512) gets rid of various useless and unnecessary calls in several drivers. In some cases it may be desirable to pin the driver by calling try_module_get(), but that can be done later. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern CC: "David S.

net: Change mii to ethtool advertisement function names

2011-11-21T20:27:19Z

This patch implements advice by Ben Hutchings to change the mii side of the function names to look more like the register whose values they convert. New LPA translation functions have been added as well. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add ethtool to mii advertisment conversion helpers

2011-11-16T23:36:59Z

Translating between ethtool advertisement settings and MII advertisements are common operations for ethernet drivers. This patch adds a set of helper functions that implements the conversion. The patch then modifies a couple of the drivers to use the new functions. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
