[PATCH net-next v1 1/4] net: phy: Add TimeSync delay query support to PHYlib API
From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Wed Apr 17 2024 - 12:44:11 EST
Add a new phy_get_timesync_data_path_delays() function, to the PHY
device API. This function enables querying the ingress and egress
TimeSync delays for PHY devices, as specified in IEEE 802.3-2022
sections 30.13.1.3 to 30.13.1.6. The function adds the capability to
obtain the average delays in nanoseconds, which can be used to
compensate for time variations added by the PHY to PTP packets.
Since most PHYs do not provide register-based delay information, PHY
drivers should supply this data, typically dependent on the interface
type (MII, RGMII, etc.) and link speed. The MAC driver, or consumer of
this API, is expected to invoke this function upon link establishment to
accurately compensate for any PHY-induced time discrepancies.
Compensating for this delay is crucial. If it is not addressed, the PHY
delays may exceed the 800ns threshold set by the 802.1as standard (the
gPTP standard). This situation classifies the link as a gPTP domain
boundary and excludes the device from synchronization processes. While
some switches and devices allow configurations that exceed this
threshold, such adjustments are non-compliant with the standard and may
not operate seamlessly across different devices or configurations.
Additionally, addressing the path delay asymmetry is vital. Identical
PHYs may not exhibit noticeable asymmetry impacting PTP time offset;
however, different PHY types and vendors can introduce significant
asymmetries that require manual adjustment for each device.
