[PATCH net v3] net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix 1 PPS sync
Posted by Meghana Malladi 3 weeks, 6 days ago
The first PPS latch time needs to be calculated by the driver
(in rounded off seconds) and configured as the start time
offset for the cycle. After synchronizing two PTP clocks
running as master/slave, missing this would cause master
and slave to start immediately with some milliseconds
drift which causes the PPS signal to never synchronize with
the PTP master.

Hello,

This patch is based on net-next tagged next-2024102.
v2:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241024113140.973928-1-m-malladi@ti.com/
Changes since v2 (v3-v2):
- Use hi_lo_writeq() and hi_lo_readq() instead of own helpers
(icssg_readq() & iccsg_writeq()) as asked by Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
- Collected Reviewed-by tags from Vadim and Danish

Regards,
Meghana.

You're reading a 64b value in chunks, is it not possible that it'd wrap
in between reads? This can be usually detected by reading high twice and
making sure it didn't change.

Please fix or explain in the commit message why this is not a problem..

Yes I agree that there might be a wrap if the read isn't atomic. As 
suggested by Andrew I am currently not using custom read where I can 
implement the logic you suggested (reading high twice and making sure if 
didn't change). Can you share me some references where this logic is 
implemented in the kernel, so I can directly use that instead of writing 
custom functions.

Regards,
Meghana.

Right but I think Andrew was commenting on a patch which contained pure
re-implementation of read low / hi with no extra bells or whistles.

I think you need to write a custom one. Example:

Ok thank you. I will add custom function for this and update the patch.

Maybe look around and see if they could be reused by other drivers. If
so, they should be put somewhere central.

I have looked into it, and seems like wherever this is getting used it 
is written as a custom function for that driver. Seems like writing our 
own is inevitable.
