Subject: [net-next v2 05/16] i40e: don't enable PTP support on more than one PF per port
From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>
Resolve an issue related to images with multiple PFs per physical
port. We cannot fully support 1588 PTP features, since only one port
should control (ie: write) the registers at a time. Doing so can cause
interference of functionality.
It may be possible to partially implement the API for only those
features without side effects. However, this at minimum means non
controlling PFs lose Tx timestamps, frequency atunement, and possibly
SYSTIME adjustment. There may be further impact I did not discover.
Since the API in the kernel expects these features to work, it is
simpler and less dangerous to just disable PTP features on all PFs not
identified as the controlling PF in PRTTSYN_CTL0.PF_ID.
This change also removes the warning printed when hwtstaml IOCTL is
called on the wrong PF. This is actually meaningless now, since only one
PF per port will support it. In addition, the ethtool get_ts_info IOCTL
was updated so that only the controlling port will even indicate support
(so as not to confuse users).
The overall downside is complete loss of functionality on non
controlling PF, vs the possible gain of partial support. The biggest
factor for choosing this approach is simplicity and ensuring that the
main PF will work. There could easily be other portions of the 1588
logic with side effects I am not aware, and the reduced functionality
that might be made available is significantly less useful. In addition,
the API does not allow for proper indication of why particular features
are not supported. These reasons are enough to decide for the simpler
approach to resolving this issue.
