There is a problem in HW in E822-based devices leading to race condition. It might happen that, in order: - PF0 (which owns the PHC) requests few timestamps, - PF1 requests a timestamp, - interrupt is being triggered and both PF0 and PF1 threads are woken up, - PF0 got one timestamp, still waiting for others so not going to sleep, - PF1 gets it's timestamp, process it and go to sleep, - PF1 requests a timestamp again, - just before PF0 goes to sleep timestamp of PF1 appear, - PF0 finishes all it's timestamps and go to sleep (PF1 also sleeping). That leaves PF1 timestamp memory not read, which lead to blocking the next interrupt from arriving. Fix it by adding auxiliary devices and only one driver to handle all the timestamps for all PF's by PHC owner. In the past each PF requested it's own timestamps and process it from the start till the end which causes problem described above. Currently each PF requests the timestamps as before, but the actual reading of the completed timestamps is being done by the PTP auxiliary driver, which is registered by the PF which owns PHC. Additionally, the newly introduced auxiliary driver/devices for PTP clock owner will be used for other features in all products (including E810).

Shannon Nelson says: ==================== ionic: better Tx SG handling The primary patch here is to be sure we're not hitting linearize on a Tx skb when we don't really need to. The other two are related details. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Shannon Nelson authored
When processing a TSO we may have frags spread across several descriptors, and the total count of frags in one skb may exceed our per descriptor IONIC_MAX_FRAGS: this is fine as long as each descriptor has fewer frags than the limit. Since the skb could have as many as MAX_SKB_FRAGS, and the first descriptor is where we track and map the frag buffers, we need to be sure we can map buffers for all of the frags plus the TSO header in the first descriptor's buffer array.

Add a check of the queue's max_sg_elems against the maximum frags we expect to see per SKB and take the smaller of the two as our max for the queues' descriptor buffer allocations. Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Shannon Nelson authored
There are some cases where an skb carries more frags than the number of SGs that ionic can support per descriptor - this forces the driver to linearize the skb. However, if this is a TSO packet that is going to become multiple descriptors (one per MTU-sized packet) and spread the frags across them, this time-consuming linearization is likely not necessary. We scan the frag list and count up the number of SGs that would be created for each descriptor that would be generated, and only linearize if we hit the SG limit on a descriptor. In most cases, we won't even get to the frag list scan, so this doesn't affect typical traffic. Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Tony Nguyen says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2023-09-18 (ice) This series contains updates to ice driver only. Sergey prepends ICE_ to PTP timer commands to clearly convey namespace of commands. Karol adds retrying to acquire hardware semaphore for cross-timestamping and avoids writing to timestamp registers on E822 devices. He also renames some defines to be more clear and align with the data sheet. Additionally, a range check is moved in order to reduce duplicated code. Jake adds cross-timestamping support for E823 devices as well as adds checks against netlist to aid in determining support for GNSS. He also corrects improper pin assignment for certain E810-T devices and refactors/cleanups PTP related code such as adding PHY model to ease checks for different needed implementations, removing unneeded EXTTS flag, and adding macro to check for source timer owner. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Uwe Kleine-König says: ==================== net: mdio: Convert to platform remove callback returning void this series convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/mdio to use remove_new. The motivation is to get rid of an integer return code that is (mostly) ignored by the platform driver core and error prone on the driver side. See commit 5c5a7680 ("platform: Provide a remove callback that returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal. There are no interdependencies between the patches. As there are still quite a few drivers to convert, I'm happy about every patch that makes it in. So even if there is a merge conflict with one patch until you apply, please apply the remainder of this series anyhow. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
