Message-Id: <1400098369-13985-1-git-send-email-linux@roeck-us.net> Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 13:12:49 -0700 From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net> To: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net> Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: Don't call phy_resume if phy_init_hw failed After the call to phy_init_hw failed in phy_attach_direct, phy_detach is called to detach the phy device from its network device. If the attached driver is a generic phy driver, this also detaches the driver. Subsequently phy_resume is called, which assumes without checking that a driver is attached to the device. This will result in a crash such as Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xffffffffffffff90 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003a0e18 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ...
