[PATCH net-next 1/2] ptp: add control over HW timestamp latch point
Posted by Arkadiusz Kubalewski 1 month ago
Currently HW support of PTP/timesync solutions in network PHY chips can be
implemented with two different approaches, the timestamp maybe latched
either at the beginning or after the Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD) [1].

Allow ptp device drivers to provide user with control over the HW
timestamp latch point with ptp sysfs ABI.

Why did 802.3-2012 change the definition of the time stamp position?

Good question!
Although, I don't feel like I a right person to answer this, I believe
This was the other way around and they just tried to react on the PHY
chip vendors inconsistencies.

Thank you!

Ok, so if the driver doesn't support this API, we just return EOPNOTSUPP
and don't support the API then.

Presumably hardware which doesn't timestamp according to this standard
would then simply not support the API?

This is tricky, I did it this way, since the driver can implement only
get_ts_point for any given HW - just to give user idea what it shall expect
(the timestamp is always latched at some point).
Setting this, on the other hand depends on the PHY, which needs to allow
control over it.
If none of the callbacks are implemented then sysfs doesn't appear, if one of
the callbacks is implemented then the sysfs will appear, but the check if
callback is present is still required.

Thank you!

Please describe, that it’s done using `/sys` filesystem.

How can this be tested?

Would it make sense to let it be configured by strings, so it’s clear, 
what the values mean?

1.  beginning_of_sfd
2.  end_of_sfd

The alignment of the start of the description looks strange with the

Sure, will add some example/description.

Actually I don't have strong opinion here. I don't know much sysfs files which
take strings as arguments, thus started with numeric values. And from
'consistency' perspective it is much more common to use numeric enum values.

But, as I said, I could change it, just not sure if that is actually better.

Any other opinions?
