net: dsa: realtek: register the MDIO bus under devres
The Linux device model permits both the ->shutdown and ->remove driver
methods to get called during a shutdown procedure. Example: a DSA switch
which sits on an SPI bus, and the SPI bus driver calls this on its
->shutdown method:
spi_unregister_controller
-> device_for_each_child(&ctlr->dev, NULL, __unregister);
-> spi_unregister_device(to_spi_device(dev));
-> device_del(&spi->dev);
So this is a simple pattern which can theoretically appear on any bus,
although the only other buses on which I've been able to find it are
I2C:
i2c_del_adapter
-> device_for_each_child(&adap->dev, NULL, __unregister_client);
-> i2c_unregister_device(client);
-> device_unregister(&client->dev);
The implication of this pattern is that devices on these buses can be
unregistered after having been shut down. The drivers for these devices
might choose to return early either from ->remove or ->shutdown if the
other callback has already run once, and they might choose that the
->shutdown method should only perform a subset of the teardown done by
->remove (to avoid unnecessary delays when rebooting).
So in other words, the device driver may choose on ->remove to not
do anything (therefore to not unregister an MDIO bus it has registered
on ->probe), because this ->remove is actually triggered by the
device_shutdown path, and its ->shutdown method has already run and done
the minimally required cleanup.
This used to be fine until the blamed commit, but now, the following
BUG_ON triggers:
void mdiobus_free(struct mii_bus *bus)
{
/* For compatibility with error handling in drivers. */
if (bus->state == MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED) {
kfree(bus);
return;
}
BUG_ON(bus->state != MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED);
bus->state = MDIOBUS_RELEASED;
put_device(&bus->dev);
}
In other words, there is an attempt to free an MDIO bus which was not
unregistered. The attempt to free it comes from the devres release
callbacks of the SPI device, which are executed after the device is
unregistered.
I'm not saying that the fact that MDIO buses allocated using devres
would automatically get unregistered wasn't strange. I'm just saying
that the commit didn't care about auditing existing call paths in the
kernel, and now, the following code sequences are potentially buggy:
(a) devm_mdiobus_alloc followed by plain mdiobus_register, for a device
located on a bus that unregisters its children on shutdown. After
the blamed patch, either both the alloc and the register should use
devres, or none should.
(b) devm_mdiobus_alloc followed by plain mdiobus_register, and then no
mdiobus_unregister at all in the remove path. After the blamed
patch, nobody unregisters the MDIO bus anymore, so this is even more
buggy than the previous case which needs a specific bus
configuration to be seen, this one is an unconditional bug.
In this case, the Realtek drivers fall under category (b). To solve it,
we can register the MDIO bus under devres too, which restores the
previous behavior.

net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown
Lino reports that on his system with bcmgenet as DSA master and KSZ9897
as a switch, rebooting or shutting down never works properly.
What does the bcmgenet driver have special to trigger this, that other
DSA masters do not? It has an implementation of ->shutdown which simply
calls its ->remove implementation. Otherwise said, it unregisters its
network interface on shutdown.
This message can be seen in a loop, and it hangs the reboot process there:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 3
So why 3?
A usage count of 1 is normal for a registered network interface, and any
virtual interface which links itself as an upper of that will increment
it via dev_hold. In the case of DSA, this is the call path:
dsa_slave_create
-> netdev_upper_dev_link
-> __netdev_upper_dev_link
-> __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert
-> dev_hold
So a DSA switch with 3 interfaces will result in a usage count elevated
by two, and netdev_wait_allrefs will wait until they have gone away.
Other stacked interfaces, like VLAN, watch NETDEV_UNREGISTER events and
delete themselves, but DSA cannot just vanish and go poof, at most it
can unbind itself from the switch devices, but that must happen strictly
earlier compared to when the DSA master unregisters its net_device, so
reacting on the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is way too late.
It seems that it is a pretty established pattern to have a driver's
->shutdown hook redirect to its ->remove hook, so the same code is
executed regardless of whether the driver is unbound from the device, or
the system is just shutting down. As Florian puts it, it is quite a big
hammer for bcmgenet to unregister its net_device during shutdown, but
having a common code path with the driver unbind helps ensure it is well
tested.
So DSA, for better or for worse, has to live with that and engage in an
arms race of implementing the ->shutdown hook too, from all individual
drivers, and do something sane when paired with masters that unregister
their net_device there. The only sane thing to do, of course, is to
unlink from the master.
However, complications arise really quickly.
The pattern of redirecting ->shutdown to ->remove is not unique to
bcmgenet or even to net_device drivers. In fact, SPI controllers do it
too (see dspi_shutdown -> dspi_remove), and presumably, I2C controllers
and MDIO controllers do it too (this is something I have not researched
too deeply, but even if this is not the case today, it is certainly
plausible to happen in the future, and must be taken into consideration).
Since DSA switches might be SPI devices, I2C devices, MDIO devices, the
insane implication is that for the exact same DSA switch device, we
might have both ->shutdown and ->remove getting called.
So we need to do something with that insane environment. The pattern
I've come up with is "if this, then not that", so if either ->shutdown
or ->remove gets called, we set the device's drvdata to NULL, and in the
other hook, we check whether the drvdata is NULL and just do nothing.
This is probably not necessary for platform devices, just for devices on
buses, but I would really insist for consistency among drivers, because
when code is copy-pasted, it is not always copy-pasted from the best
sources.
So depending on whether the DSA switch's ->remove or ->shutdown will get
called first, we cannot really guarantee even for the same driver if
rebooting will result in the same code path on all platforms. But
nonetheless, we need to do something minimally reasonable on ->shutdown
too to fix the bug. Of course, the ->remove will do more (a full
teardown of the tree, with all data structures freed, and this is why
the bug was not caught for so long). The new ->shutdown method is kept
separate from dsa_unregister_switch not because we couldn't have
unregistered the switch, but simply in the interest of doing something
quick and to the point.
The big question is: does the DSA switch's ->shutdown get called earlier
than the DSA master's ->shutdown? If not, there is still a risk that we
might still trigger the WARN_ON in unregister_netdevice that says we are
attempting to unregister a net_device which has uppers. That's no good.
Although the reference to the master net_device won't physically go away
even if DSA's ->shutdown comes afterwards, remember we have a dev_hold
on it.
The answer to that question lies in this comment above device_link_add:
* A side effect of the link creation is re-ordering of dpm_list and the
* devices_kset list by moving the consumer device and all devices depending
* on it to the ends of these lists (that does not happen to devices that have
* not been registered when this function is called).
so the fact that DSA uses device_link_add towards its master is not
exactly for nothing. device_shutdown() walks devices_kset from the back,
so this is our guarantee that DSA's shutdown happens before the master's
shutdown.

net: dsa: rtl8366rb: Roof MTU for switch
The MTU setting for this DSA switch is global so we need
to keep track of the MTU set for each port, then as soon
as any MTU changes, roof the MTU to the biggest common
denominator and poke that into the switch MTU setting.
To achieve this we need a per-chip-variant state container
for the RTL8366RB to use for the RTL8366RB-specific
stuff. Other SMI switches does seem to have per-port
MTU setting capabilities.

net: dsa: remove dsa_switch_alloc helper
Now that ports are dynamically listed in the fabric, there is no need to provide a special helper to allocate the dsa_switch structure. This will give more flexibility to drivers to embed this structure as they wish in their private structure.
