This pointer is NULL only when phy_detach() is called typically by phy_disconnect(), but remains and needs to be valid reference throughout the entire time the network interface is open regardless of the link state. One of the reasons why some drivers are checking for the phydev pointer to be NULL is because you can have one process open the network interface, attaching to the PHY at some point in that ndo_open, and another one calling in ethtool_get_settings for instance and this second process can see a transient state where the PHY device is not yet attached (aka NULL). > > If I'm wrong, and it everybody agree, I'll send a patch that add a check > on netif_running. > >> Either the hardware or the driver needs to remember: >> >> - Is auto-negotiation enabled >> - If so, which modes are advertised >> - If not, which mode is forced >> >> And it should still be possible to get or set that information when the >> interface is down. > > It could be possible to save the set_link_ksettings request if the link > is down, and apply it when the link become up. > It also could be possible to save the last state of the link before it > goes to down, and return it to a get_link_ksettings when the link is down. > But what happen if the link was never up before the first > get_link_kettings ? Humm, sure, I would take a few examples first and see how consistent they are with allowing these operations while the link is down and move from there. Thanks! -- Florian

It also could be possible to save the last state of the link before it goes to down, and return it to a get_link_ksettings when the link is down. But what happen if the link was never up before the first get_link_kettings ? If everybody agree with this, I may send a patch that implement this idea. Philippe

[PATCH 2/2] net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings
There are two generics functions phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings, so we can use them instead of defining the same code in the driver.
