There are several cases where virtual net devices may benefit from having a PTP clock, and these have to do with testing. I can see at least netdevsim and veth as potential users of a common mock-up PTP hardware clock driver. The proposed idea is to create an object which emulates PTP clock operations on top of the unadjustable CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW plus a software-controlled time domain via a timecounter/cyclecounter and then link that PHC to the netdevsim device. The driver is fully functional for its intended purpose, and it successfully passes the PTP selftests. $ cd tools/testing/selftests/ptp/ $ ./phc.sh /dev/ptp2 TEST: settime [ OK ] TEST: adjtime [ OK ] TEST: adjfreq [ OK ] Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230807193324.4128292-7-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |
