Russell reported the following race in the phylib state machine
(quoting from his mail):
if (phy_polling_mode(phydev) && phy_is_started(phydev))
phy_queue_state_machine(phydev, PHY_STATE_TIME);
state = PHY_UP
thread 0 thread 1
phy_disconnect()
+-phy_is_started()
phy_is_started() |
`-phy_stop()
+-phydev->state = PHY_HALTED
`-phy_stop_machine()
`-cancel_delayed_work_sync()
phy_queue_state_machine()
`-mod_delayed_work()
At this point, the phydev->state_queue() has been added back onto the
system workqueue despite phy_stop_machine() having been called and
cancel_delayed_work_sync() called on it.
Fix this by protecting the complete operation in thread 0.

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.
