[TSN RFC v2 3/9] TSN: Add the standard formerly known as AVB to the kernel

From: henrik
Date: Fri Dec 16 2016 - 13:04:45 EST


From: Henrik Austad <henrik@xxxxxxxxx>

TSN provides a mechanism to create reliable, jitter-free, low latency
guaranteed bandwidth links over a local network. It does this by
reserving a path through the network. Support for TSN must be found in
both the NIC as well as in the network itself.

This adds required hooks into netdev_ops so that the core TSN driver can
use this when configuring a new NIC or setting up a new link. It also
provides hook for removing a link and reducing the idle_slope parameter on
the NIC.

(We need to set the PCP values when we first configure the link. This
value should not change as long as we have valid streams running, and in
most cases, the PCP for the domain will not change.)

+ Select this if you want to enable TSN on capable interfaces.
+
+ TSN allows you to set up deterministic links on your LAN (only
+ L2 is currently supported). Once loaded, the driver will probe
+ all available interfaces if they are capable of supporting TSN
+ links.
+
+ Once loaded, a directory in configfs called tsn/ will expose
+ the capable NICs and allow userspace to create
+ links. Userspace must provide us with a StreamID as well as
+ reserving bandwidth through the network and once this is done,
+ a new link can be created by issuing a mkdir() in configfs and
+ updating the attributes for the new link.
+
+ TSN itself does not produce nor consume data, it is dependent
+ upon 'shims' doing this, which can be virtually anything. ALSA
+ is a good candidate.
+
+ For more information, refer to the TSN-documentation in the
+ kernel documentation repository.
+
+ The resulting module will be called 'tsn'
+
+ If unsure, say N.
