Maybe I am just getting way off track here, but I noticed this in
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_ethtool.c in
set_pflag_tx_port_ts:

if (!err)
priv->tx_ptp_opened = true;

but what if enable is false, meaning the user is disabling ptp via
ethtool?

In that case, shouldn't this be:

if (!err)
priv->tx_ptp_opened = enabled;

Because it seems like the user could pass 0 to disable ptp, and with
the current code then trigger mlx5e_close_channels which would call
mlx5e_ptp_close, but priv->tx_ptp_opened might still be true even
though ptp has been closed. Just a guess as I really don't know much
about this code at all, but it seems that the MLX5E_PFLAG_TX_PORT_TS
will be set in set_pflag_tx_port_ts based on enable, which then
affects how mlx5e_open_channels behaves.

Likewise in mlx5e_ptp_close_queues, maybe
rx_ptp_opened and tx_ptp_opened should be set to false there?

It seems like the user could get the driver into an inconsistent
state by enabling then disabling ptp, but maybe I'm just reading
this all wrong.

Is that a bug? If so, I can submit:

1. ethtool tx_ptp_opened = false
2. rx_ptp_opened = tx_ptp_opened = false in mlx5e_ptp_close_queues

to net as a Fixes ?

I am asking about this from the perspective of stats, because in the
qos stuff, the txq2sq_stats mapping is created or removed (set to
NULL) in mlx5e_activate_qos_sq and mlx5e_deactivate_qos_sq /
mlx5e_qos_deactivate_queues, respectively.

This means that priv->txq2sq_stats could be a valid sq_stats or
invalid for deactivated TCs and qos. It seems like ptp should work
the same way, but I have no idea.

If ptp did work the same way, then in base the code would check if
ptp was disabled and obtain the stats from it, if there are any from
it being previously enabled.

That seems like more consistent behavior, but sorry if
I'm totally off on all of this.
