For TX timestamping, we use the felix_txtstamp method which is common
with the regular (non-8021q) ocelot tagger. This method says that skb
deferral is needed, prepares a timestamp request ID, and puts a clone of
the skb in a queue waiting for the timestamp IRQ.
felix_txtstamp is called by dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() just before the
tagger's xmit method. In the tagger xmit, we divert the packets
classified by dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() as PTP towards the MMIO-based
injection registers, and we declare them as dead towards dsa_slave_xmit.
If not PTP, we proceed with normal tag_8021q stuff.
Then the timestamp IRQ fires, the clone queued up from felix_txtstamp is
matched to the TX timestamp retrieved from the switch's FIFO based on
the timestamp request ID, and the clone is delivered to the stack.
On RX, thanks to the VCAP IS2 rule that redirects the frames with an
EtherType for 1588 towards two destinations:
- the CPU port module (for MMIO based extraction) and
- if the "no XTR IRQ" workaround is in place, the dsa_8021q CPU port
the relevant data path processing starts in the ptp_classify_raw BPF
classifier installed by DSA in the RX data path (post tagger, which is
completely unaware that it saw a PTP packet).
This time we can't reuse the same implementation of .port_rxtstamp that
also works with the default ocelot tagger. That is because felix_rxtstamp
is given an skb with a freshly stripped DSA header, and it says "I don't
need deferral for its RX timestamp, it's right in it, let me show you";
and it just points to the header right behind skb->data, from where it
unpacks the timestamp and annotates the skb with it.
The same thing cannot happen with tag_ocelot_8021q, because for one
thing, the skb did not have an extraction frame header in the first
place, but a VLAN tag with no timestamp information. So the code paths
in felix_rxtstamp for the regular and 8021q tagger are completely
independent. With tag_8021q, the timestamp must come from the packet's
duplicate delivered to the CPU port module, but there is potentially
complex logic to be handled [ and prone to reordering ] if we were to
just start reading packets from the CPU port module, and try to match
them to the one we received over Ethernet and which needs an RX
timestamp. So we do something simple: we tell DSA "give me some time to
think" (we request skb deferral by returning false from .port_rxtstamp)
and we just drop the frame we got over Ethernet with no attempt to match
it to anything - we just treat it as a notification that there's data to
be processed from the CPU port module's queues. Then we proceed to read
the packets from those, one by one, which we deliver up the stack,
timestamped, using netif_rx - the same function that any driver would
use anyway if it needed RX timestamp deferral. So the assumption is that
we'll come across the PTP packet that triggered the CPU extraction
notification eventually, but we don't know when exactly. Thanks to the
VCAP IS2 trap/redirect rule and the exclusion of the CPU port module
from the flooding replicators, only PTP frames should be present in the
CPU port module's RX queues anyway.
There is just one conflict between the VCAP IS2 trapping rule and the
semantics of the BPF classifier. Namely, ptp_classify_raw() deems
general messages as non-timestampable, but still, those are trapped to
the CPU port module since they have an EtherType of ETH_P_1588. So, if
the "no XTR IRQ" workaround is in place, we need to run another BPF
classifier on the frames extracted over MMIO, to avoid duplicates being
sent to the stack (once over Ethernet, once over MMIO). It doesn't look
like it's possible to install VCAP IS2 rules based on keys extracted
from the 1588 frame headers.
