[PATCH net-next v1 1/4] net: phy: Add TimeSync delay query support to PHYlib API

[Oleksij Rempel]

Add a new phy_get_timesync_data_path_delays() function, to the PHY
device API. This function enables querying the ingress and egress
TimeSync delays for PHY devices, as specified in IEEE 802.3-2022
sections 30.13.1.3 to 30.13.1.6. The function adds the capability to
obtain the average delays in nanoseconds, which can be used to
compensate for time variations added by the PHY to PTP packets.

Since most PHYs do not provide register-based delay information, PHY
drivers should supply this data, typically dependent on the interface
type (MII, RGMII, etc.) and link speed. The MAC driver, or consumer of
this API, is expected to invoke this function upon link establishment to
accurately compensate for any PHY-induced time discrepancies.

Compensating for this delay is crucial. If it is not addressed, the PHY
delays may exceed the 800ns threshold set by the 802.1as standard (the
gPTP standard). This situation classifies the link as a gPTP domain
boundary and excludes the device from synchronization processes. While
some switches and devices allow configurations that exceed this
threshold, such adjustments are non-compliant with the standard and may
not operate seamlessly across different devices or configurations.
Additionally, addressing the path delay asymmetry is vital. Identical
PHYs may not exhibit noticeable asymmetry impacting PTP time offset;
however, different PHY types and vendors can introduce significant
asymmetries that require manual adjustment for each device.

[PATCH net-next v1 2/4] net: phy: micrel: lan8841: set default PTP latency values

[Oleksij Rempel]

Set default PTP latency values to provide realistic path delay
measurements and reflecting internal PHY latency asymetry.

This values are based on ptp4l measurements for the path delay against
identical PHY as link partner and latency asymmetry extracted from
documented SOF Latency values of this PHY.

Documented SOF Latency values are:
TX 138ns/RX 430ns @ 1000Mbps
TX 140ns/RX 615ns @ 100Mbps (fixed latency mode)
TX 140ns/RX 488-524ns @ 100Mbps (variable latency mode)
TX 654ns/227-2577ns @ 10Mbps

Calculated asymmetry:
292ns @ 1000Mbps
238ns @ 100Mbps
1923ns @ 10Mbps

Except of ptp4l based tests RGMII-PHY-PHY-RGMII path delay was measured
to verify if values are in sane range. Following LAN8841 + LAN8841 RGMII
delays are measured:
583ns @ 1000Mbps
1080ns @ 100Mbps
15200ns @ 10Mbps

Without configuring compensation registers ptp4l reported following
path delay results:
~467ns @ 1000Mbps
~544ns @ 100Mbps
~9688ns @ 10Mbps

Magnetic + Cable + Magnetic delay in this setup is about 5ns.

[PATCH net-next v1 3/4] net: phy: realtek: provide TimeSync data path delays for RTL8211E

[Oleksij Rempel]

Provide default data path delays for RTL8211E.

The measurements was done against with iMX8MP STMMAC and LAN8841 as the
link partner.

This values was calculated based on RGMII-PHY-PHY-RGMII measurements,
where the link partner is LAN8841. Following values was measured:
- data flow from RTL8211E to LAN8841:
  746ns @ 1000Mbps
  1770ns @ 100Mbps
  932000ns @ 10Mbps
- data flow from LAN8841 to RTL8211E:
  594ns @ 1000Mbps
  1130ns @ 100Mbps
  8920ns @ 10Mbps

Before this patch ptp4l reported following path delays:
~610ns @ 1000Mbps
~942ns @ 100Mbps
~465998ns @ 10Mbps

PPS offset compared to grand master was:
~ -114ns @ 1000Mbps
~ -215ns @ 100Mbps
~ -465998ns @ 10Mbps

Magnetic - Cable - Magnetic - delay in this setup was about 5ns.

So your intention is that this function is called from within the
adjust_link callback? Hence there is no locking being performed
because the lock is already held?

Please document the context this function should be used in. If users
use it outside of the adjust_link callback, the locking will be
wrong....

I think kdocs now requires a : after Returns ?

Does Half Duplex vs Full Duplex make a difference here?

What affect does this have on systems which have already applied
adjustments in user space to correct for this? Will this cause
regressions for such systems?

I know Richard has rejected changes like this in the past.

Because all 4 variables are u64, it can be zero technically.
I think the condition of "max >= min" could be better option for validation
because actual *_delay_ns is average of min and max value.

What's the point in adding these fields to the private data if you
retrieve the delays and use them in a single place? Just extend the
stmmac_hwtstamp_correct_latency() arguments list and pass the delays
as the function parameters.

Here is a typo 2277-2577ns

Yes, Half Duplex will be even less predictable. It would make no sense to
use it for the time sync.

Yes.

> I know Richard has rejected changes like this in the past.

In this case I would need to extend the ethtool interface. The driver
should provide recommended values and the user space can optionally
read them and optionally write them to the HW.

Get Recommended TimeSync Data Path Delays
    Command Name: ETHTOOL_G_TS_DELAYS_RECOMMENDED
    Description: This command retrieves the recommended TimeSync data path
    delays for transmit and receive paths, typically based on the interface
    type and link speed. This values are not stable.

Get Currently Active TimeSync Data Path Delays
    Command Name: ETHTOOL_G_TS_DELAYS_ACTIVE
    Description: This command retrieves the currently active TimeSync data path
    delays that are being applied by the PHY. This is useful for real-time
    diagnostics and monitoring.

Set Currently Active TimeSync Data Path Delays
    Command Name: ETHTOOL_S_TS_DELAYS_ACTIVE
    Description: This command sets the currently active TimeSync data path
    delays. This would allow the system administrator or the network management
    system to manually adjust the TimeSync delays to either align them with the
    recommended values or to tweak them for specific network conditions or
    compliance requirements.

What do you think about this?

Should the delay value be bound to the link mode or only to the speed?

What if we have multiple components with delays? SoC/MAC specific delays,
interface converters RGMII to xMII, etc? Should the ethtool interface provide
summ of all delays in the chain, or we need to have access to each separately?

Regards,
Oleksij

My 2 cents:

User space has all of the hooks needed to configure corrections for a
given setup.

Hard coding corrections in device drivers is bound to fail, based on
prior experience with Vendors not knowing or caring how their products
actually work.  Vendors will publish value X one year, then delete the
info (to avoid embarrassment), then publish the new value Y, once
customers have forgotten about X.

So, prudent users will always calibrate their beloved systems, not
trusting the Vendors to provide anything close to reasonable.

Ergo, adding new magical correction in a kernel release causes
regressions for prudent users.

But, in the end, that doesn't matter, because prudent users are used
to being abused by well-meaning yet misguided device driver authors.

Prudent users are wise, and they will re-calibrate their systems
before rolling out an updated kernel.

After all, device driver authors leave them no other choice.

Thanks,
Richard

Ok, i see. Thank you for your feedback.

Are the recommended FOSS projects managing calibration values per-
linkmode/port/device in user space?

What is recommended way for calibration? Using some recommended device?

No, I haven't seen this.  I think the vendors should provide the
numbers, like in the data sheet.  This is more useful and flexible
than letting vendors hard code the numbers into the source code of
device drivers.

You can try the "Calibration procedures" in IEEE 1588-2019, Annex N.

Or if you have end to end PPS outputs (from the GM server and the
client) then you can simply compare them with an oscilloscope and
correct any static offset with the ptp4l "delayAsymmetry"
configuration option.

Or if you have auxiliary event inputs on both server and client, feed
a pulse generator into both, compare time stamps, etc.

Also linuxptp supports Meinberg's NetSync Monitor method.

Also there are commercial vendors that rent/sell test equipment for
PTP networks.

So there are many possibilities.

HTH,
Richard
