[PATCH iwl-next,v2 0/2] XDP Tx Hardware Timestamp for igc driver

[Song Yoong Siang <yoong.siang.song@intel.com>]

Implemented XDP transmit hardware timestamp metadata for igc driver.

This patchset 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
 sudo ./xdp_hw_metadata <iface> > /dev/shm/result.log

Test Step 2: Enable Tx hardware timestamp
 sudo hwstamp_ctl -i <iface> -t 1 -r 1

Test Step 3: Run ptp4l and phc2sys for time synchronization

Test Step 4: Generate 1000 UDP packets with 1ms interval
 sudo trafgen --dev <iface> '{eth(da=<mac addr>), udp(dp=9091)}' -t 1ms -n 1000

Result of last 3 packets:

Besides, this patchset is tested with iperf3 to check the impact of holding tx completion.
Based on results below, the impact is not observable.

Result of iperf3 without trafgen command in step 4:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-100.00 sec  27.4 GBytes  2.35 Gbits/sec    0             sender
[  5]   0.00-100.04 sec  27.4 GBytes  2.35 Gbits/sec                  receiver

Result of iperf3 running parallel with trafgen command in step 4:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-100.00 sec  27.4 GBytes  2.35 Gbits/sec    0             sender
[  5]   0.00-100.04 sec  27.4 GBytes  2.35 Gbits/sec                  receiver

changelog:
V1 -> V2
- In struct igc_tx_timestamp_request, keep a pointer to igc_tx_buffer,
  instead of pointing xsk_pending_ts (Vinicius).
- In struct igc_tx_timestamp_request, introduce buffer_type to indicate
  whether skb or igc_tx_buffer pointer should be use (Vinicius).
- In struct igc_metadata_request, remove igc_adapter pointer (Vinicius).
- When request tx hwts, copy the value of cmd_type, instead of using
  pointer (Vinicius).
- For boolean variable, use true and false, instead of 1 and 0 (Vinicius).
- In igc_xsk_request_timestamp(), make an early return if none of the 4 ts
  registers is available (Vinicius).
- Create helper functions to clear tx buffer and skb for tstamp (John).
- Perform throughput test with mix traffic (Vinicius & John).
