David S. Miller b4ab21f903 Merge branch 'ksettings-locking-fixes'
Andrew Lunn says:

====================
ksettings_{get|set} lock fixes

Walter Stoll <Walter.Stoll@duagon.com> reported a race condition
between "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" and phylib
reading the current status from the PHY. Both ksetting_get and
ksetting_set fail the take the phydev mutex, and as a result, there is
a small window of time where the phydev members are not self
consistent.

Patch 1 fixes phy_ethtool_ksettings_get by adding the needed lock.
Patches 2 and 3 move code around and perform to refactoring, to allow
patch 4 to fix phy_ethtool_ksettings_set by added the lock.

Thanks go to Walter for the detailed origional report, suggested fix,
and testing of the proposed patches.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
