Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] sfc: support unicast PTP

Unicast PTP was not working with sfc NICs.

The reason was that these NICs don't timestamp all incoming packets,
but instead they only timestamp packets of the queues that are selected
for that. Currently, only one RX queue is configured for timestamp: the
RX queue of the PTP channel. The packets that are put in the PTP RX
queue are selected according to firmware filters configured from the
driver.

Multicast PTP was already working because the needed filters are known
in advance, so they're inserted when PTP is enabled. This patches
add the ability to dynamically add filters for unicast addresses,
extracted from the TX PTP-event packets.

Since we don't know in advance how many filters we'll need, some info
about the filters need to be saved. This will allow to check if a filter
already exists or if a filter is too old and should be removed.

Note that the previous point is unnecessary for multicast filters, but
I've opted to change how they're handled to match the new unicast's
filters to avoid having duplicate insert/remove_filters functions,
once for each type of filter.

Tested: With ptp4l, all combinations of master/slave and unicast/multicast

v2: fixed missing IS_ERR
    added doc of missing fields in efx_ptp_rxfilter

Íñigo Huguet (4):
  sfc: store PTP filters in a list
  sfc: allow insertion of filters for unicast PTP
  sfc: support unicast PTP
  sfc: remove expired unicast PTP filters
