Andre Werner says: ==================== Prevent nullptr exceptions in ISR In case phydev->irq is modified unconditionally to a valid IRQ, handling the IRQ may lead to a nullptr exception if no interrupt handler is registered to the phy driver. phy_interrupt calls a phy_device->handle_interrupt unconditionally. And interrupts are enabled in phy_connect_direct if phydev->irq is not equal to PHY_POLL or PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT, so it does not check for a phy driver providing an ISR. Adding an additonal check for a valid interrupt handler in phy_attach_direct function, and falling back to polling mode if not, should prevent for such nullptr exceptions. Moreover, the ADIN1100 phy driver is extended with an interrupt handler for changes in the link status. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240129135734.18975-1-andre.werner@systec-electronic.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
