Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v2] igc: Fix RX HW timestamp reporting when NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is disabled
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 19:15:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630112056.885071-1-meng.ding@siemens.com> (raw)

When CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is deactivated, fetching RX HW timestamps
from the NIC no longer works as expected, often resulting in incorrect
or negative values such as "HW raw -121948.050407424".

This occurs because disabling CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL disables the
SKB NAPI mapping in __skb_mark_napi_id(). Consequently, get_timestamp()
fails to perform its driver lookup, and the igc driver's struct
net_device_ops::ndo_get_tstamp is never invoked.

Instead, get_timestamp() falls back to use shhwtstamps(skb)->hwtstamp,
a field that the driver has not populated. This results in incorrect
timestamps.

Fix this by populating the hwtstamp field with the correct timestamp
in the default timer when CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is disabled.
The "igc_adapter" is passed to igc_construct_skb() to enable
igc_ptp_rx_pktstamp() to access the necessary adapter details for
adjusting the timestamp.

Test case:
 Disable CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL.
 Sender:
 # tools/testing/selftests/net/timestamping en0 \
        SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE PTPV2 IP_MULTICAST_LOOP
 Receiver:
 # tools/testing/selftests/net/timestamping en0 \
        SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE PTPV2

Before patch, receiver prints
 HW raw -121948.050407424
After patch, receiver prints
 HW raw 1760648763.746974064
