2014-08-06net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreamsWillem de Bruijn1-1/+2
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP. The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

2014-08-06net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet schedulerWillem de Bruijn1-1/+2
Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-08-06net-timestamp: add key to disambiguate concurrent datagramsWillem de Bruijn1-3/+5
Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique correlate looped data with original send() call (for application level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex, requiring packet inspection. Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of sock_extended_err. The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx timestamp generation is enabled. The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0. The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced first.

2013-11-19net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl to match SIOCSHWTSTAMPBen Hutchings1-7/+7
SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application using it, but there is currently no way for any other application to find out the configuration non-destructively. Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
2013-11-19net_tstamp: Improve kernel-doc for struct hwtstamp_configBen Hutchings1-5/+5
Fix the name of the rx_filter field. Remove text about 32/64-bit compatibility; this works just the same as for most socket ioctls and as the structure is not allowed to grow there is no need to remind anyone how to maintain it. Add explanation about drivers changing the filter mode. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
