      net: hold sock reference while processing tx timestamps · da92b194
      Richard Cochran 提交于
      The pair of functions,
      
       * skb_clone_tx_timestamp()
       * skb_complete_tx_timestamp()
      
      were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first
      function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies
      PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device
      driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a
      later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the
      socket's error queue.
      
      As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from
      disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver
      awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference
      on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments
      regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the
      rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release
      the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too.
      
      These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.

      filter: optimize sk_run_filter · 93aaae2e
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
      instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.
      
      As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
      all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
      bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
      remove it from sk_run_filter() params.
      
      On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b3
      (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)
      
      Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
      avoid too many ifdefs in this code.
      
      This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
      accumulator.
      
      On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
      runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional
      branch per BPF instruction)

      net: support time stamping in phy devices. · c1f19b51
      Richard Cochran 提交于
      This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
      from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
      outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
      time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
      deferred for later delivery by the driver.
      
      The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
      and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
      optionally implement these functions.
