For TX timestamping, we use the felix_txtstamp method which is common
with the regular (non-8021q) ocelot tagger. This method says that skb
deferral is needed, prepares a timestamp request ID, and puts a clone of
the skb in a queue waiting for the timestamp IRQ.
felix_txtstamp is called by dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() just before the
tagger's xmit method. In the tagger xmit, we divert the packets
classified by dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() as PTP towards the MMIO-based
injection registers, and we declare them as dead towards dsa_slave_xmit.
If not PTP, we proceed with normal tag_8021q stuff.
Then the timestamp IRQ fires, the clone queued up from felix_txtstamp is
matched to the TX timestamp retrieved from the switch's FIFO based on
the timestamp request ID, and the clone is delivered to the stack.
On RX, thanks to the VCAP IS2 rule that redirects the frames with an
EtherType for 1588 towards two destinations:
- the CPU port module (for MMIO based extraction) and
- if the "no XTR IRQ" workaround is in place, the dsa_8021q CPU port
the relevant data path processing starts in the ptp_classify_raw BPF
classifier installed by DSA in the RX data path (post tagger, which is
completely unaware that it saw a PTP packet).
This time we can't reuse the same implementation of .port_rxtstamp that
also works with the default ocelot tagger. That is because felix_rxtstamp
is given an skb with a freshly stripped DSA header, and it says "I don't
need deferral for its RX timestamp, it's right in it, let me show you";
and it just points to the header right behind skb->data, from where it
unpacks the timestamp and annotates the skb with it.
The same thing cannot happen with tag_ocelot_8021q, because for one
thing, the skb did not have an extraction frame header in the first
place, but a VLAN tag with no timestamp information. So the code paths
in felix_rxtstamp for the regular and 8021q tagger are completely
independent. With tag_8021q, the timestamp must come from the packet's
duplicate delivered to the CPU port module, but there is potentially
complex logic to be handled [ and prone to reordering ] if we were to
just start reading packets from the CPU port module, and try to match
them to the one we received over Ethernet and which needs an RX
timestamp. So we do something simple: we tell DSA "give me some time to
think" (we request skb deferral by returning false from .port_rxtstamp)
and we just drop the frame we got over Ethernet with no attempt to match
it to anything - we just treat it as a notification that there's data to
be processed from the CPU port module's queues. Then we proceed to read
the packets from those, one by one, which we deliver up the stack,
timestamped, using netif_rx - the same function that any driver would
use anyway if it needed RX timestamp deferral. So the assumption is that
we'll come across the PTP packet that triggered the CPU extraction
notification eventually, but we don't know when exactly. Thanks to the
VCAP IS2 trap/redirect rule and the exclusion of the CPU port module
from the flooding replicators, only PTP frames should be present in the
CPU port module's RX queues anyway.
There is just one conflict between the VCAP IS2 trapping rule and the
semantics of the BPF classifier. Namely, ptp_classify_raw() deems
general messages as non-timestampable, but still, those are trapped to
the CPU port module since they have an EtherType of ETH_P_1588. So, if
the "no XTR IRQ" workaround is in place, we need to run another BPF
classifier on the frames extracted over MMIO, to avoid duplicates being
sent to the stack (once over Ethernet, once over MMIO). It doesn't look
like it's possible to install VCAP IS2 rules based on keys extracted
from the 1588 frame headers.

Since the tag_8021q tagger is software-defined, it has no means by
itself for retrieving hardware timestamps of PTP event messages.
Because we do want to support PTP on ocelot even with tag_8021q, we need
to use the CPU port module for that. The RX timestamp is present in the
Extraction Frame Header. And because we can't use NPI mode which redirects
the CPU queues to an "external CPU" (meaning the ARM CPU running Linux),
then we need to poll the CPU port module through the MMIO registers to
retrieve TX and RX timestamps.
Sadly, on NXP LS1028A, the Felix switch was integrated into the SoC
without wiring the extraction IRQ line to the ARM GIC. So, if we want to
be notified of any PTP packets received on the CPU port module, we have
a problem.
There is a possible workaround, which is to use the Ethernet CPU port as
a notification channel that packets are available on the CPU port module
as well. When a PTP packet is received by the DSA tagger (without timestamp,
of course), we go to the CPU extraction queues, poll for it there, then
we drop the original Ethernet packet and masquerade the packet retrieved
over MMIO (plus the timestamp) as the original when we inject it up the
stack.
Create a quirk in struct felix is selected by the Felix driver (but not
by Seville, since that doesn't support PTP at all). We want to do this
such that the workaround is minimally invasive for future switches that
don't require this workaround.
The only traffic for which we need timestamps is PTP traffic, so add a
redirection rule to the CPU port module for this. Currently we only have
the need for PTP over L2, so redirection rules for UDP ports 319 and 320
are TBD for now.
Note that for the workaround of matching of PTP-over-Ethernet-port with
PTP-over-MMIO queues to work properly, both channels need to be
absolutely lossless. There are two parts to achieving that:
- We keep flow control enabled on the tag_8021q CPU port
- We put the DSA master interface in promiscuous mode, so it will never
drop a PTP frame (for the profiles we are interested in, these are
sent to the multicast MAC addresses of 01-80-c2-00-00-0e and
01-1b-19-00-00-00).

There are use cases for which the existing tagger, based on the NPI
(Node Processor Interface) functionality, is insufficient.
Namely:
- Frames injected through the NPI port bypass the frame analyzer, so no
source address learning is performed, no TSN stream classification,
etc.
- Flow control is not functional over an NPI port (PAUSE frames are
encapsulated in the same Extraction Frame Header as all other frames)
- There can be at most one NPI port configured for an Ocelot switch. But
in NXP LS1028A and T1040 there are two Ethernet CPU ports. The non-NPI
port is currently either disabled, or operated as a plain user port
(albeit an internally-facing one). Having the ability to configure the
two CPU ports symmetrically could pave the way for e.g. creating a LAG
between them, to increase bandwidth seamlessly for the system.
So there is a desire to have an alternative to the NPI mode. This change
keeps the default tagger for the Seville and Felix switches as "ocelot",
but it can be changed via the following device attribute:
echo ocelot-8021q > /sys/class/<dsa-master>/dsa/tagging
