Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] phylink: Set speed to SPEED_UNKNOWN when there is no PHY connected
phylink_ethtool_ksettings_get can be called while the interface may not
even be up, which should not be a problem. But there are drivers (e.g.
gianfar) which connect to the PHY in .ndo_open and disconnect in
.ndo_close. While odd, to my knowledge this is again not illegal and
there may be more that do the same. But PHYLINK for example has this
check in phylink_ethtool_ksettings_get:
if (pl->phydev) {
phy_ethtool_ksettings_get(pl->phydev, kset);
} else {
kset->base.port = pl->link_port;
}
So it will not populate kset->base.speed if there is no PHY connected.
The speed will be 0, by way of a previous memset. Not SPEED_UNKNOWN.
It is arguable whether that is legal or not. include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
says:
All values 0 to INT_MAX are legal.
By that measure it may be. But it sure would make users of the
__ethtool_get_link_ksettings API need make more complicated checks
(against -1, against 0, 1, etc). So far the kernel community has been ok
with just checking for SPEED_UNKNOWN.
Take net/sched/sch_taprio.c for example. The check in
taprio_set_picos_per_byte is currently not robust enough and will
trigger this division by zero, due to PHYLINK not setting SPEED_UNKNOWN:
if (!__ethtool_get_link_ksettings(dev, &ecmd) &&
ecmd.base.speed != SPEED_UNKNOWN)
picos_per_byte = div64_s64(NSEC_PER_SEC * 1000LL * 8,
ecmd.base.speed * 1000 * 1000);
