Described in fd5736bf ("enetc: Workaround for MDIO register access issue") is a workaround for a hardware bug that requires a register access of the MDIO controller to never happen concurrently with a register access of a port PF. To avoid that, a mutual exclusion scheme with rwlocks was implemented - the port PF accessors are the 'read' side, and the MDIO accessors are the 'write' side. When we do XDP_REDIRECT between two ENETC interfaces, all is fine because the MDIO lock is already taken from the NAPI poll loop. But when the ingress interface is not ENETC, just the egress is, the MDIO lock is not taken, so we might access the port PF registers concurrently with MDIO, which will make the link flap due to wrong values returned from the PHY. To avoid this, let's just slap an enetc_lock_mdio/enetc_unlock_mdio at the beginning and ending of enetc_xdp_xmit. The fact that the MDIO lock is designed as a rwlock is important here, because the read side is reentrant (that is one of the main reasons why we chose it). Usually, the way we benefit of its reentrancy is by running the data path concurrently on both CPUs, but in this case, we benefit from the reentrancy by taking the lock even when the lock is already taken (and that's the situation where ENETC is both the ingress and the egress interface for XDP_REDIRECT, which was fine before and still is fine now).
