Íñigo Huguet says: ==================== sfc: support unicast PTP Unicast PTP was not working with sfc NICs. The reason was that these NICs don't timestamp all incoming packets, but instead they only timestamp packets of the queues that are selected for that. Currently, only one RX queue is configured for timestamp: the RX queue of the PTP channel. The packets that are put in the PTP RX queue are selected according to firmware filters configured from the driver. Multicast PTP was already working because the needed filters are known in advance, so they're inserted when PTP is enabled. This patches add the ability to dynamically add filters for unicast addresses, extracted from the TX PTP-event packets. Since we don't know in advance how many filters we'll need, some info about the filters need to be saved. This will allow to check if a filter already exists or if a filter is too old and should be removed. Note that the previous point is unnecessary for multicast filters, but I've opted to change how they're handled to match the new unicast's filters to avoid having duplicate insert/remove_filters functions, once for each type of filter. Tested: With ptp4l, all combinations of IPv4/IPv6, master/slave and unicast/multicast Reported-by: Yalin Li <yalli@redhat.com> ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230331111404.17256-1-ihuguet@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
