Summary

A race condition in the MII layer causes spurious events, see:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252165

. Use a lock to serialize access to MII operations and drop ticks when
MII is locked.

I'd be happy to review this, but I need reproduction steps.

sanpei added a comment.Mar 29 2026, 1:13 PM

Hi @pouria.

I can reproduce below steps

Device: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W(arm64)
OS: 15.0-RELEASE + (D55682) (maybe also -current)
Setup : CARP configured on the ure interface.
Dongle: Lenovo USB-C to LAN

Steps:
Machine A (Remote): Run ping [Unassigned Local IP].
Machine B (Target): Run the route -n monitor command in four separate instances and more.

Result: NG (Failed)

and this change is fixed(I'm still testing some devices. After finish, I will report it)

Does anyone know how I can get an adapter or hub device with the C variant chip (latest revision?)

Keep only MII bus lock, it's enough.

Remove PHY checking, MII bus lock is sufficient
