Can you give me a brief description of this (relatively ancient) patch? Your
original e-mail is visible here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=135042754927177&w=2

I'm wondering if this patch needs to be backported to older CPSW driver
snapshots (specifically, TI's 2.6.37 branch for dm81xx.) It appears to
fix a multicast bug I'm tracking down, but it's difficult to know for
sure without a good description of what problem the patch addresses. (I
don't want to commit code that fixes my hardware by accident.)

For a little more information, you can refer to my e2e.ti.com post:

	http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/716/t/365586.aspx

I'm slowly learning about ALE filtering, but a quick reply from a
domain expert would be very helpful.

best,
Graeme

Hi Graeme

There is already a support for add multicast in v2.6.37 cpsw driver, if
there is a bug and you found a fix, can go a head and fix that. The
patch you have mentioned is an upstream patch with was done on top of
am335x platform, so there might be bugs fixed and added into the patch
which are not in v2.6.37 cpsw driver.

Re: [PATCH 3/6] drivers: net: ethernet: cpsw: add multicast address to ALE table

[Graeme Smecher]

Hi Mungathan,

FYI, I think the multicast bug I'm working on also affects dual EMAC
mode in upstream cpsw.c. I will add a 2.6.37-specific patch on my e2e
forum post (link below), but this is a heads-up for code you maintain.

Symptoms: each port in dual EMAC mode trashes the other port's multicast
reception.

Cause: cpsw_ndo_set_rx_mode does the following:

cpsw_ale_flush_multicast(priv->ale, ALE_ALL_PORTS << priv->host_port);

if (!netdev_mc_empty(ndev)) {
struct netdev_hw_addr *ha;

/* program multicast address list into ALE register */
netdev_for_each_mc_addr(ha, ndev) {
cpsw_add_mcast(priv, (u8 *)ha->addr);
}
}

This code can be invoked by eth0 or eth1, which have potentially
differing multicast lists. However, cpsw_ale_flush_multicast() trashes
ALL multicast entries in the ALE, affecting both ports. Only the entries
for the net_device that invoked cpsw_ndo_set_rx_mode() are restored.

To fix this, you will have to pass a correct port_mask to
cpsw_ale_flush_multicast(), and correct the free-entry check at the
bottom of cpsw_ale_flush_mcast().

best,
Graeme

[PATCH 0/6] Add CPTS PTP driver support

[Mugunthan V N]

This patch series contains driver implementation for TI Common Platform
Time Sync (CPTS) driver for PTP packet timestamping.

CPTS is found in following TI SoC.
* AM335X - http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/spruh73c
* DM814X - http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprugz8

The Common Platform Time Sync (CPTS) module is used to facilitate host
control of time sync operations. It enables compliance with the IEEE 1588-2008
standard for a precision clock synchronization protocol

This patch series is tested over vanilla kernel with the below patches
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135032863723906&w=2
Tested both L2 and L4 PTP packet timestamping

Is this somehow related to the time stamping function? If so, how?

Why can't we support promiscuous mode here?

To support promiscuous mode, ALE has to be disabled and but this will
lead to disabling Switch functionality in hardware. So this is not
implemented as of now, It is under development.
