[PATCH net-next v4 11/12] net: atlantic: add AQC113 TX timestamp polling and PTP TX classification
From: sukhdeeps
Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 10:03:17 EST
From: Sukhdeep Singh <sukhdeeps@xxxxxxxxxxx>
aq_ring.h / aq_ring.c:
- Add ptp_ts_deadline field to aq_ring_s to track TX timestamp timeout.
- In aq_ring_tx_clean(): when hw_ring_tx_ptp_get_ts() returns 0 (HW not
yet written back the timestamp), clear buff->is_mapped and buff->pa
before breaking to prevent double dma_unmap on retry. When
ptp_ts_deadline expires, clear request_ts and free the skb via
dev_kfree_skb_any() to unblock the ring if HW never delivers the
timestamp.
aq_main.c:
- Add IPv6 PTP packet detection in aq_ndev_start_xmit() using
ipv6_hdr()->nexthdr for ETH_P_IPV6 frames, steering them through
aq_ptp_xmit() alongside the existing IPv4 path.
- Use PTP_EV_PORT/PTP_GEN_PORT constants instead of magic numbers 319/320.
- Remove stale aq_ndev_open() PTP call that was moved to aq_nic_start().
aq_nic.c:
- Move aq_reapply_rxnfc_all_rules() and aq_filters_vlans_update() into
aq_nic_start() after hardware init, replacing the duplicate calls that
were removed from aq_ndev_open().
