Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v2 03/15] ice: fix removal of PTP timestamp tracker during reset
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 11:02:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922-jk-e825c-timestamp-processing-logic-fixes-srcu-v2-3-e55b692d0e6b@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922-jk-e825c-timestamp-processing-logic-fixes-srcu-v2-0-e55b692d0e6b@intel.com>
Commit 7a25fe5cd5fb ("ice: stop destroying and reinitalizing Tx tracker
during reset") intended to modify the PTP reset flow of the driver so that
it stopped calling ice_ptp_reset_tx_tracker() during teardown and stopped
calling ice_ptp_init_tx_*() during rebuild.
Unfortunately, the commit only removed the calls to ice_ptp_init_tx_*().
This fixed a memory leak in PF reset. However, now a CORE, GLOBAL, or EMP
reset will leave the device unable to initiate Tx timestamp requests
indefinitely.
In practice the CORE and GLOBAL resets rarely happen in production
environments, while EMP resets happen after a firmware update that is often
followed by a platform reboot. This explains why this has not been caught
until now. However, it is trivial to verify by triggering the reset from
userspace via ethtool. For ice the following command will trigger a GLOBAL
reset:
$ ethtool --reset eno8303np0 irq-shared dma-shared filter-shared \
offload-shared ram-shared mac-shared phy-shared
Remove the call of ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker() from
ice_ptp_prepare_for_reset(), to keep the tracker memory in place so that
timestamping can resume after a reset.
During review of a previous version of this change, sashiko pointed out
that the teardown flows for ice_ptp_init() and ice_ptp_release() could
potentially leak the PTP timestamp tracker. Fix ice_ptp_init() so that it
correctly calls ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker() as part of its teardown on
exit. Fix ice_ptp_release() so that it handles the cleanup if PTP is in the
error state by cancelling the kworker items and releasing the Tx tracker as
appropriate.
This was found by Sashiko review during feedback for an unrelated change,
and iterated based on further feedback from Sashiko after the initial fix
to remove the call to ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker();
