Subject: [PATCH net] net: stmmac: ptp: fix support for PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 12:25:04 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104052504.1886335-1-jjc@jclark.com> (raw)
Commit 7c571ac57d9d ("net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to
ptp_clock_info") modified the PTP core to validate the supported flags
of external timestamp requests, rather than relying on each driver to
check them.
stmmac_enable() and dwmac1000_ptp_enable() ignore the flags, and
neither stmmac_ptp_clock_ops nor dwmac1000_ptp_clock_ops was given any
.supported_extts_flags. Since PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 always implies
PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, the core now rejects every PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 for
this driver with -EOPNOTSUPP, where before that commit the same
requests succeeded. Only the PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl still works.
Tests on an NXP i.MX 8M Plus (FRDM-IMX8MPLUS, GMAC 5.10a) show that the
auxiliary snapshot inputs timestamp just the rising edge. The reference
manuals for the STM32MP13 (GMAC 4.20a) and the Cyclone V HPS (GMAC
3.70a, which uses dwmac1000_ptp_clock_ops) say the same.
Encode this in .supported_extts_flags. A PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 for the
rising edge then succeeds, and one for the falling edge or for both
edges fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.
