[ Upstream commit 6c24a03a61a245fe34d47582898331fa034b6ccd ]
Alexander Sverdlin presents 2 problems during shutdown with the lan9303 driver. One is specific to lan9303 and the other just happens to reproduce there.
The first problem is that lan9303 is unique among DSA drivers in that it calls dev_get_drvdata() at "arbitrary runtime" (not probe, not shutdown, not remove):
phy_state_machine() -> ... -> dsa_user_phy_read() -> ds->ops->phy_read() -> lan9303_phy_read() -> chip->ops->phy_read() -> lan9303_mdio_phy_read() -> dev_get_drvdata()
But we never stop the phy_state_machine(), so it may continue to run after dsa_switch_shutdown(). Our common pattern in all DSA drivers is to set drvdata to NULL to suppress the remove() method that may come afterwards. But in this case it will result in an NPD.
The second problem is that the way in which we set dp->master->dsa_ptr = NULL; is concurrent with receive packet processing. dsa_switch_rcv() checks once whether dev->dsa_ptr is NULL, but afterwards, rather than continuing to use that non-NULL value, dev->dsa_ptr is dereferenced again and again without NULL checks: dsa_master_find_slave() and many other places. In between dereferences, there is no locking to ensure that what was valid once continues to be valid.
Both problems have the common aspect that closing the master interface solves them.
In the first case, dev_close(master) triggers the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event in dsa_slave_netdevice_event() which closes slave ports as well. dsa_port_disable_rt() calls phylink_stop(), which synchronously stops the phylink state machine, and ds->ops->phy_read() will thus no longer call into the driver after this point.
In the second case, dev_close(master) should do this, as per Documentation/networking/driver.rst:
Quiescence
After the ndo_stop routine has been called, the hardware must not receive or transmit any data. All in flight packets must be aborted. If necessary, poll or wait for completion of any reset commands.
So it should be sufficient to ensure that later, when we zeroize master->dsa_ptr, there will be no concurrent dsa_switch_rcv() call on this master.
The addition of the netif_device_detach() function is to ensure that ioctls, rtnetlinks and ethtool requests on the slave ports no longer propagate down to the driver - we're no longer prepared to handle them.
The race condition actually did not exist when commit 0650bf52b31f ("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown") first introduced dsa_switch_shutdown(). It was created later, when we stopped unregistering the slave interfaces from a bad spot, and we just replaced that sequence with a racy zeroization of master->dsa_ptr (one which doesn't ensure that the interfaces aren't up).
