Subject: [RFC Patch net-next v2 3/8] net: dsa: microchip: Initial hardware time stamping support

This patch adds the routine for get_ts_info, hwstamp_get, set. This enables
the PTP support towards userspace applications such as linuxptp.
Tx timestamping can be enabled per port and Rx timestamping enabled
globally.

What's your excuse which such a horrible code pattern? What will happen
so bad with the packet if it's flagged with a TX timestamp request in
KSZ_SKB_CB(skb) at the same time as REG_PTP_MSG_CONF1 is written to?

Also, doesn't dev->ports[port].hwts_tx_en serve as a guard against
flagging packets for TX timestamps when you shouldn't?

I took this configuration template routine from other driver. Can I
replace above snippet with

tagger_data->hwtstamp_set_state(dev->ds, rx_on);
ret = ksz_ptp_enable_mode(dev, rx_on);
if (ret)
return ret;

Not really a good excuse. The sja1105 driver has more hardware-specific
issues to deal with, not necessarily the same as ksz.

Why do you need to call hwtstamp_set_state anyway?

Mistake here. It is carried forwarded from Christian Eggers patch.

In tag_ksz.c, xmit function query this state, to determine whether to
allocate the 4 PTP timestamp bytes in the skb_buffer or not. Using this
tagger_data set state, ptp enable and disable is communicated between
ksz_ptp.c and tag_ksz.c

Still taken from sja1105_hwtstamp_set(). Anyway, doesn't matter where
it's taken from, as long as it has a justification for being there.

Why do you need to query this state in particular, considering that the
skb goes first through the port_txtstamp() dsa_switch_ops function?
Can't you just check there if TX timestamping is enabled, and leave a
mark in KSZ_SKB_CB()?

KSZ switches need a additional 4 bytes in tail tag if the PTP is
enabled in hardware. If the PTP is enabled and if we didn't add 4
additional bytes in the tail tag then packets are corrupted.

Tristram explained this in the patch conversation

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/T/#mb3eba4918bda351a405168e7a2140d29262f4c63

I did the follwing experiment today,
* Removed the ptp time stamp check in tag_ksz.c. In the ksz_xmit
function, 4 additional bytes are added only if KSZ_SKB_CB->ts_en bit is
set.
* Setup the board, ping two boards. Ping is successful.
* Run the ptpl in the background
* Now if I run the ping, ping is not successful. And also in the ptp4l
log message it shows as bad message received.

We need a mechanism to inform tag_ksz.c to add 4 additional bytes in
tail_tag for all the packets if the ptp is enabled in the hardware.

Ok. The code + comments need to be sufficiently self-explanatory that
this question does not get asked again. It will not be trivial to do a
proper job documenting the hardware oddities as a justification for the
software workarounds, but it should be possible.
