[PATCH v9 net-next 01/12] net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Tue Aug 01 2023 - 10:29:37 EST


From: Maxim Georgiev <glipus@xxxxxxxxx>

Current hardware timestamping API for NICs requires implementing
.ndo_eth_ioctl() for SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP.

That API has some boilerplate such as request parameter translation
between user and kernel address spaces, handling possible translation
failures correctly, etc. Since it is the same all across the board, it
would be desirable to handle it through generic code.

Here we introduce .ndo_hwtstamp_get() and .ndo_hwtstamp_set(), which
implement that boilerplate and allow drivers to just act upon requests.

Changes in v8-v9:
- None
Changes in v7:
- Remove extack from ndo_hwtstamp_get()
- Reword commit message
Changes in v6:
- The patch title was updated. No code changes.
Changes in v4:
- Renamed hwtstamp_kernel_to_config() function to
hwtstamp_config_from_kernel().
- Added struct kernel_hwtstamp_config zero initialization
in dev_get_hwtstamp() and in dev_get_hwtstamp().
Changes in v3:
- Moved individual driver conversions to separate patches
Changes in v2:
- Introduced kernel_hwtstamp_config structure
- Added netlink_ext_ack* and kernel_hwtstamp_config* as NDO hw timestamp
function parameters
- Reodered function variable declarations in dev_hwtstamp()
- Refactored error handling logic in dev_hwtstamp()
- Split dev_hwtstamp() into GET and SET versions
- Changed net_hwtstamp_validate() to accept struct hwtstamp_config *
as a parameter
