Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.1 193/219] bnx2x: Prevent ptp_task to be rescheduled indefinitely
From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" <gpiccoli@...onical.com>
[ Upstream commit 3c91f25c2f72ba6001775a5932857c1d2131c531 ]
Currently bnx2x ptp worker tries to read a register with timestamp
information in case of TX packet timestamping and in case it fails,
the routine reschedules itself indefinitely. This was reported as a
kworker always at 100% of CPU usage, which was narrowed down to be
bnx2x ptp_task.
By following the ioctl handler, we could narrow down the problem to
an NTP tool (chrony) requesting HW timestamping from bnx2x NIC with
RX filter zeroed; this isn't reproducible for example with ptp4l
(from linuxptp) since this tool requests a supported RX filter.
It seems NIC FW timestamp mechanism cannot work well with
RX_FILTER_NONE - driver's PTP filter init routine skips a register
write to the adapter if there's not a supported filter request.
This patch addresses the problem of bnx2x ptp thread's everlasting
reschedule by retrying the register read 10 times; between the read
attempts the thread sleeps for an increasing amount of time starting
in 1ms to give FW some time to perform the timestamping. If it still
fails after all retries, we bail out in order to prevent an unbound
resource consumption from bnx2x.
The patch also adds an ethtool statistic for accounting the skipped
TX timestamp packets and it reduces the priority of timestamping
error messages to prevent log flooding. The code was tested using
both linuxptp and chrony.
