Subject: Re: [v1,ethtool] ethtool: add setting frame preemption of traffic
classes
Hi Po Liu,
Thanks for working on this! Some suggestion below as we are working on
adding this support to Texas Instrument's CPSW driver on AM65x family
of SoCs as well. TRM for that is provided below for your reference.
Relevant section for IET (Frame pre-emption) is
12.2.1.4.6.6.1IET Configuration

Need additional capabilities as described by Ivan above. Thanks Ivan!
So it would be better to use feature/sub-parameter format so that it can
be extended as needed in the future.
For express/Preemptable mask setting it becomes
ethtool -s devname frame-preemption tc-mask N
For setting min fragment size
ethtool -s devname frame-preemption min-fragsize 64
Also the device may be capable of doing Verify process to detect the
capability of neighbor device and show the status. So we should have a
way to show this status as well when user type
ethtool devname
We are working currently to add this feature to CPSW driver on AM65x
which will be upstream-ed soon. So want to have this done in an
way that we can extend it later.
Similarly for taprio, there are some parameters that user
might want to tune such as Max SDU size per tc class. I hope
we could use ethtool to set the same on a similar way.
Thanks
