Serge Semin a0e026e7b3 net: phy: Fix deadlocking in phy_error() invocation
Since commit 91a7cda1f4 ("net: phy: Fix race condition on link status
change") all the phy_error() method invocations have been causing the
nested-mutex-lock deadlock because it's normally done in the PHY-driver
threaded IRQ handlers which since that change have been called with the
phydev->lock mutex held. Here is the calls thread:

IRQ: phy_interrupt()
     +-> mutex_lock(&phydev->lock); <--------------------+
         drv->handle_interrupt()                         | Deadlock due
         +-> ERROR: phy_error()                          + to the nested
                    +-> phy_process_error()              | mutex lock
                        +-> mutex_lock(&phydev->lock); <-+
                            phydev->state = PHY_ERROR;
                            mutex_unlock(&phydev->lock);
         mutex_unlock(&phydev->lock);

The problem can be easily reproduced just by calling phy_error() from any
PHY-device threaded interrupt handler. Fix it by dropping the phydev->lock
mutex lock from the phy_process_error() method and printing a nasty error
message to the system log if the mutex isn't held in the caller execution
context.

Note for the fix to work correctly in the PHY-subsystem itself the
phydev->lock mutex locking must be added to the phy_error_precise()
function.

README

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.
