igc: Add Tx hardware timestamp request for AF_XDP zero-copy packet
This patch adds support to per-packet Tx hardware timestamp request to AF_XDP zero-copy packet via XDP Tx metadata framework. Please note that user needs to enable Tx HW timestamp capability via igc_ioctl() with SIOCSHWTSTAMP cmd before sending xsk Tx hardware timestamp request. Same as implementation in RX timestamp XDP hints kfunc metadata, Timer 0 (adjustable clock) is used in xsk Tx hardware timestamp. i225/i226 have four sets of timestamping registers. *skb and *xsk_tx_buffer pointers are used to indicate whether the timestamping register is already occupied. Furthermore, a boolean variable named xsk_pending_ts is used to hold the transmit completion until the tx hardware timestamp is ready. This is because, for i225/i226, the timestamp notification event comes some time after the transmit completion event. The driver will retrigger hardware irq to clean the packet after retrieve the tx hardware timestamp. Besides, xsk_meta is added into struct igc_tx_timestamp_request as a hook to the metadata location of the transmit packet. When the Tx timestamp interrupt is fired, the interrupt handler will copy the value of Tx hwts into metadata location via xsk_tx_metadata_complete(). This patch is tested with tools/testing/selftests/bpf/xdp_hw_metadata on Intel ADL-S platform. Below are the test steps and results. Test Step 1: Run xdp_hw_metadata app ./xdp_hw_metadata <iface> > /dev/shm/result.log Test Step 2: Enable Tx hardware timestamp hwstamp_ctl -i <iface> -t 1 -r 1 Test Step 3: Run ptp4l and phc2sys for time synchronization Test Step 4: Generate UDP packets with 1ms interval for 10s trafgen --dev <iface> '{eth(da=<addr>), udp(dp=9091)}' -t 1ms -n 10000 Test Step 5: Rerun Step 1-3 with 10s iperf3 as background traffic Test Step 6: Rerun Step 1-4 with 10s iperf3 as background traffic Based on iperf3 results below, the impact of holding tx completion to throughput is not observable.
