Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] net: stmmac: fix PPS input indexing

The stmmac can have 0 to 4 auxiliary snapshot in channels, which can be
used for capturing external triggers with respect to the eqos PTP timer.

Previously when enabling the auxiliary snapshot, an invalid request was
written to the hardware register, except for the Intel variant of this
driver, where the only snapshot available was hardcoded.

Patch 1 of this series cleans up the debug netdev_dbg message indicating
the auxiliary snapshot being {en,dis}abled. No functional changes here

Patch 2 of this series fixes the PPS input indexing

Patch 3 of this series removes a field member from plat_stmmacnet_data
that is no longer needed

Patch 4 of this series prepares Patch 5 by protecting the snapshot
enabled flag by the aux_ts_lock mutex

Patch 5 of this series adds a temporary workaround, since at the moment
the driver can handle only one single auxiliary snapshot at a time.
Previously the driver silently dropped the previous configuration and
enabled the new one. Now, if a snapshot is already enabled and userspace
tries to enable another without previously disabling the snapshot currently
enabled: issue a netdev_err and return an errorcode indicating the device is
busy.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/5] net: stmmac: intel: remove unnecessary field struct plat_stmmacenet_data::ext_snapshot_num

Do not store bitmask for enabling AUX_SNAPSHOT0. The previous commit
("net: stmmac: fix PPS capture input index") takes care of calculating
the proper bit mask from the request data's extts.index field, which is
0 if not explicitly specified otherwise.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/5] net: stmmac: fix PPS capture input index

The stmmac supports up to 4 auxiliary snapshots that can be enabled by
setting the appropriate bits in the PTP_ACR bitfield.

Previously instead of setting the bits, a fixed value was written to
this bitfield instead of passing the appropriate bitmask.

Now the correct bit is set according to the ptp_clock_request.extts_index
passed as a parameter to stmmac_enable().

Hi Johannes,

The fix language of the subject and presence of a fixes tag implies that
this is a bug fix. But it's not clear to me that this is resolving
bug that manifests as a problem.

If it is a bug fix then it should probably be targeted at 'net',
creating a dependency for the remainder of this series.

On the other hand, if it is not a bug fix then perhaps it is best to
update the subject and drop the Fixes tag.

I'm no expert on stmmac, but the rest of the series looks good to me.

Thank you for taking your time to read through the series. This series is
somewhere in the realm between "fixing some stuff added previously (and never
worked)" and "filling the gaps/adding a new feature in some template code that
never worked as intended". However, I do not have strong opinions about this.

If you prefer to have the commits reworded, I will just wait a bit more for any
additional feedback and resend the series with the commit messages reworded+
fixes, should any be required.

I added the fixes-Tag in order to make code archeology easier, but as it may
trigger picks to stable branches (which is not required imho), I have no
objections to dropping it for a v2.

that's good news. thx for looking through the series.

Would be good to clarify what impact on device operation the problem
has. How would end user notice the problem?
Does it mean snapshots were always or never enabled, previously?

Note that if you submit this fix for net today it will still make it
to -rc7 and net-next by tomorrow, so no major delay. We merge the trees
on Thursday, usually.

On all dwmac devices not covered by dwmac-intel.c (INTEL 10/100/1000
Ethernet PCI driver), PPS capture can be requested from user-space, but
is not enabled in HW. There is no error message or other feedback to the
user space. The user space will not get any PPS events.

As this change also affects the Intel driver, and we don't have any
hardware to test, I think it's better that this goes via net-next to
give it a bit more time of testing.

SGTM, we can chalk it up to "never worked, doesn't hurt anyone"
and put it in net-next. But then the Fixes tag must go.

I have also CC'ed Kurt in this series, as I know he has at least some hardware
at hand, though I cannot tell whether he has any chance to test the PPS
capture. Maybe he has a possibility to try it out. However, giving it a spin in
net-next SGTM.

sure, that's fine for me. I will reword the commit messages and send a v2.
