[PATCH mlx5-next 1/2] net/mlx5: Add new timestamp mode bits

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Aharon Landau <aharonl@nvidia.com>

These fields declare which timestamp mode is supported by the device
per RQ/SQ/QP.

In addiition add the ts_format field to the select the mode for
RQ/SQ/QP.

We only got patch 1 which explains very little.

You also need to CC Richard.

I will change my scripts to ensure that all people will be always CCed
on whole series.

We are not talking about PTP, but about specific to RDMA timestamp mechanism
which is added to the CQE (completion queue entry) per-user request when
he/she creates CQ (completion queue). User has an option to choose the format
of it for every QP/RQ/SQ.

I see. Perhaps Richard won't be interested then but best to give him 
a chance.

Not directly related to series at hand but how is the clock synchronized
between system and device for the real time option?

When device works in real time mode, driver can skip cycles to ns translation
it does today in order to provide recv/sent SKB NS TS to the stack. Real time
mode does not require any changes above driver level and the synchronization
to system clock will remain as is today. The mlx5e soon to support this mode.

This series is needed to keep RDMA compatibility and fail QP creation for wrong mode.

Thanks

Since this is a rdma series, and we are at the end of the cycle, I
took the IFC file directly to the rdma tree instead of through the
shared branch.

Applied to for-next, thanks

mmm, i was planing to resubmit this patch with the netdev real time
support series, since the uplink representor is getting delayed, I
thought I could submit the real time stuff today. can you wait on the
ifc patch, i will re-send it today if you will, but it must go through
the shared branch

Thanks.

Friday of rc7 is a bit late to be sending new patches for the first
time, isn't it??

But sure, if you update the shared branch right now I'll fix up rdma.git

I can't put it in the shared brach without review, i will post it to
the netdev/rdma lists for two days at least for review and feedback.

Not critical though, this can wait for next rc1.. if you want to
proceed with what you already did.

Well, I'm not going to take any different patches beyond right now
unless Linus does a rc8??

Just move this one IFC patch to the shared branch, it is obviously OK
