[RFC][PATCH 0/3] net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl

[RFC][PATCH 0/3] net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl

[Ben Hutchings]

SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.

This series adds a new ioctl with the obvious name which just reads the
configuration, and an example implementation for the sfc driver.

This information could alternately be added to struct ethtool_ts_info
returned by the ethtool ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO command, although that
wouldn't be very symmetric.  There would also be a problem of how to
indicate whether this extra information is present, given that all
fields of hwtstamp_config can validly be 0.

Ben.

[RFC][PATCH 1/3] net_tstamp: Improve kernel-doc for struct hwtstamp_config

[Ben Hutchings]

Fix the name of the rx_filter field.

Remove text about 32/64-bit compatibility; this works just the same as
for most socket ioctls and as the structure is not allowed to grow
there is no need to remind anyone how to maintain it.

Add explanation about drivers changing the filter mode.

[Ben Hutchings]

SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.

No objections to the new ioctl, but you absolutely need to implement
the appropriate compat ioctl handler in net/socket.c just as we have
one for the existing SIOCSHWTSTAMP.

You could put this under Documentation/networking/timestamping/

There is already example code there.

I guess that the reasoning behind the original interface is that an
application only wants to know the settings when it needs a particular
setting in order to operate correctly. This would make the query call
pointless, since the application might as well just go ahead and set
the values that it needs.

Do you have a particular use case in mind?

Richard

The immediate motivation is wanting to include this information in
