Yes, I tried using phy_mac_interrupt() but had some difficulties (I'll
explain below). It seemed to be what I want and is wrapped with
EXPORT_SYMBOL().
However, as of next-20131104 I don't see how this works for DT probed
devices (those that set PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT).
As I tried to explain in my comment, of_mdiobus_register() assigns
PHY_POLL to the IRQ array:
drivers/of/of_mdio.c
..
int of_mdiobus_register(struct mii_bus *mdio, struct device_node *np)
{
..
/* Clear all the IRQ properties */
if (mdio->irq)
for (i=0; i<PHY_MAX_ADDR; i++)
mdio->irq[i] = PHY_POLL;
..
for_each_available_child_of_node(np, child) {
..
if (mdio->irq) {
mdio->irq[addr] = irq_of_parse_and_map(child, 0);
if (!mdio->irq[addr])
mdio->irq[addr] = PHY_POLL;
}
..
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT || PHY_POLL is not a valid interrupt.
The library ends up toggling (polling) between PHY_RUNNING and PHY_CHANGELINK:
drivers/net/phy/phy.c:
..
void phy_state_machine(struct work_struct *work)
{
..
case PHY_RUNNING:
pr_info("%s: %s: PHY_RUNNING\n", __func__,
dev_name(&phydev->dev));
/* Only register a CHANGE if we are
* polling or ignoring interrupts
*/
if (!phy_interrupt_is_valid(phydev))
phydev->state = PHY_CHANGELINK;
break;
..
include/linux/phy.h:
..
static inline bool phy_interrupt_is_valid(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
return phydev->irq != PHY_POLL && phydev->irq != PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT;
}
..
This is why I ended up setting PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT and the comment
about its effectiveness. Polling works but the extra reads on the bus
seem unnecessary.
Ideas how they can be eliminated are appreciated.
Another problem, when phy_mac_interrupt() is called from NAPI it looks
like it's trying to take a lock it already has. I tried moving it out
of poll, placing it directly in IRQ handler, with the same result:

I was wondering about that, and now I'm sure it should not be set, the
physical chip is separate, as can be seen here:
