Subject: [PATCH v9 net-next 2/3] netdevsim: Implement basic ptp support
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:20:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813222023.2460-3-maciek@machnikowski.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813222023.2460-1-maciek@machnikowski.net>
Add support for virtual timestamping inside the netdevsim driver.
The implementation uses two attached ptp_mock clocks, reads the timestamps
of the ones attached either to the netdevsim or its peer and returns
timestamps using standard timestamps APIs.
This implementation enables running ptp4l on netdevsim adapters and
introduces a new ptp selftest.
