Subject: [PATCH 5.15 088/102] net: phy: Fix race condition on link status change

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@...adex.com>

commit 91a7cda1f4b8bdf770000a3b60640576dafe0cec upstream.

This fixes the following error caused by a race condition between
phydev->adjust_link() and a MDIO transaction in the phy interrupt
handler. The issue was reproduced with the ethernet FEC driver and a
micrel KSZ9031 phy.

With the FEC driver phydev->adjust_link() calls fec_enet_adjust_link()
calls fec_stop()/fec_restart() and both these function reset and
temporary disable the FEC disrupting any MII transaction that
could be happening at the same time.

fec_enet_adjust_link() and phy_read() can be running at the same time
when we have one additional interrupt before the phy_state_machine() is
able to terminate.

Thread 1 (phylib WQ)       | Thread 2 (phy interrupt)
                           |
                           | phy_interrupt()            <-- PHY IRQ

                           |   phy_read()
                           |   phy_trigger_machine()
                           |    --> schedule phylib WQ
                           |
                           |
phy_state_machine()        |
 phy_check_link_status()   |
  phy_link_change()        |
   phydev->adjust_link()   |
    fec_enet_adjust_link() |
     --> FEC reset         | phy_interrupt()            <-- PHY IRQ
                           |  phy_read()
                           |

Fix this by acquiring the phydev lock in phy_interrupt().
