[PATCH RFC 3/4] virtio-net: support transmit timestamp
From: Steffen Trumtrar
Date: Mon Dec 18 2023 - 06:41:34 EST
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add optional PTP hardware tx timestamp offload for virtio-net.
Accurate RTT measurement requires timestamps close to the wire.
Introduce virtio feature VIRTIO_NET_F_TX_TSTAMP, the transmit
equivalent to VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP.
The driver sets VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_TSTAMP to request a timestamp
returned on completion. If the feature is negotiated, the device
either places the timestamp or clears the feature bit.
The timestamp straddles (virtual) hardware domains. Like PTP, use
international atomic time (CLOCK_TAI) as global clock base. The driver
must sync with the device, e.g., through kvm-clock.
Modify can_push to ensure that on tx completion the header, and thus
timestamp, is in a predicatable location at skb_vnet_hdr.
Tested: modified txtimestamp.c to with h/w timestamping:
- sock_opt = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE |
+ sock_opt = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE |
+ do_test(family, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE);
