I don't think this adds "correct handing". See my reply to the first version. pw-bot: cr

It's supposed to point to the commit which introduced the issue (aka what 'git bisect' would land on). > Signed-off-by: Mohammed Anees <pvmohammedanees2003@gmail.com> > --- > v2: > - Added error checking for phylink_ethtool_set_wol(), ensuring correct > handling compared to v1. > ___ this should have been "---" not "___". > net/dsa/user.c | 15 +++++++++------ > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/net/dsa/user.c b/net/dsa/user.c > index 74eda9b30608..bae5ed22db91 100644 > --- a/net/dsa/user.c > +++ b/net/dsa/user.c > @@ -1215,14 +1215,17 @@ static int dsa_user_set_wol(struct net_device *dev, struct ethtool_wolinfo *w) > - phylink_ethtool_set_wol(dp->pl, w); > + ret = phylink_ethtool_get_wol(dp->pl, w); Could you tell us a bit about your motivation for making a change? How have you noticed the lack of error checking in phylink_ethtool_set_wol()? What user-visible problem has it caused? Since patches with Fixes: tags to older than net-next commits get backported to stable kernels, the triage rules from Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst apply. If this is purely theoretical and you are not already testing this, then please do so. (it seems you aren't, because you replaced phylink_ethtool_get_wol() with phylink_ethtool_set_wol()). Luckily, you could somewhat exercise the code paths using the dsa_loop mock-up driver even if you don't have a supported hardware switch. It isn't the same as the real thing, but with some instrumentation and carefully chosen test cases and simulated return codes, I could see it being used to prove a point. If you don't have the interest of testing this patch, then I would request you to abandon it. The topic of combining MAC WoL with PHY WoL is not trivial and a theoretical "fix" can make things that used to work stop working. It's unlikely that basing patches off of a chat on the mailing list is going to make things better if it all stays theoretical and no one tests anything, even if that chat is with Andrew and Russell, the opinions of both of whom are extremely respectable in this area. In principle there's also the option of requesting somebody else to test if you cannot, like the submitter of the blamed patch, if there's reasonable suspicion that something is not right. In this case, interesting thing, the phylink_ethtool_set_wol() call got introduced in commit aab9c4067d23 ("net: dsa: Plug in PHYLINK support") by Florian, but there was no phy_ethtool_set_wol() prior to that. So it's not clear at all what use cases came to depend upon the phylink_ethtool_set_wol() call in the meantime since 2018. I'm not convinced that said commit voluntarily introduced the call. If this is not an exclusively theoretical issue and this was just an honest mistake, then please do continue the patch submission process. But for my curiosity, what platform are you experimenting on?
Hi Vladimir, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback; I really appreciate it. I want to be honest, I’m quite new to this process and have been exploring the the code to learn as much as I can, which was when i noticed this. I was excited to contribute and took a more theoretical approach without fully grasping the importance of testing to see if this is ever possible. I completely understand your points now and apologize for not testing this. I haven’t had the chance to experiment with it on any platform yet, but I plan to do so to see if I encounter any issues. If I do run into problems, I’ll definitely continue with this patch and work on resolving them. Thanks once more for your guidance and for clarifying the intricacies of MAC WoL and PHY WoL interaction.

In the original implementation of dsa_user_set_wol(), the return value of phylink_ethtool_set_wol() was not checked, which could lead to errors being ignored. This wouldn't matter if it returned -EOPNOTSUPP, since that indicates the PHY layer doesn't support the option, but if any other value is returned, it is problematic and must be checked. The solution is to check the return value of phylink_ethtool_set_wol(), and if it returns anything other than -EOPNOTSUPP, immediately return the error. Only if it returns -EOPNOTSUPP should the function proceed to check whether WoL can be set by ds->ops->set_wol().
