Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] net/iavf: reuse device alarm for PHC sync
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 11:21:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402152137.1527322-3-soumyadeep.hore@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402152137.1527322-1-soumyadeep.hore@intel.com>
Reuse existing iavf device alarm cadence to drive periodic PHC sync
instead of a dedicated PHC alarm callback.
Keep PHC start/stop hooks as pause/resume controls around queue
reconfiguration and device lifecycle paths.
