[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: stmmac: fix failed MTU reopening and hardware resume

[James Hilliard]

Keep the stmmac datapath coherent after failed MTU reopening or hardware
resume without changing the interface's administrative state. An ordinary
down/up must release the resources still owned and open a fresh datapath,
without disabling NAPI twice or releasing already-freed allocations.

The phylink prerequisite permits an ordinary close to terminate a
suspended instance directly. Resuming phylink solely to stop it would
reconfigure and restart a MAC which has not successfully resumed.

The stmmac fix tracks running, suspended-with-resources and released
datapaths separately from IFF_UP. A failed interface stays detached until
successful resume or administrative recovery. XDP, AF_XDP and debugfs
paths which are not excluded by detach also respect resource ownership.

Changes in v2:
- Drop forced netif_close() and retain the interface's administrative state,
  as requested by Maxime Chevallier.
- Separate queue quiescence from resource release and use explicit datapath
  state instead of a napi_disabled argument to the release helper.
- Handle repeated suspend/resume after failure, preserve PHY/PM ownership
  until ordinary close, and allow a fresh down/up recovery.
- Check XDP/AF_XDP cleanup, descriptor readback and asynchronous reset work
  while the netdev is administratively up but unavailable.
- Explain the generic phylink suspend-to-stop transition and why restarting
  phylink after a failed MAC resume is not a valid substitute, in response
  to Andrew Lunn.
- Combine the two stmmac error-path fixes so every user of the new state
  has consistent resource and NAPI lifetime handling in one patch.
