Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v2 11/14] ice: keep Tx timestamp slots tracked until completion or timeout
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:53:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825-jk-e825c-minimized-fixes-v2-11-8223f95d26e3@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825-jk-e825c-minimized-fixes-v2-0-8223f95d26e3@intel.com>
From: Petr Oros <poros@redhat.com>
When the link goes down the processing loop drops every outstanding
request, and a request whose timestamp is not ready yet is freed
without reading the PHY slot. The hardware completes the capture a
moment later, the orphaned ready bit blocks the port interrupt until
the next link-up sweep, and the freed index can meanwhile be reused
by a new request whose slot the hardware then overwrites. Captured on
a reproducer as ready bits with no in_use owner right after a link
bounce.
Stop dropping on link down. Mark the outstanding requests stale so
their completions are read and discarded, reject new requests while
the link is down, and free a not yet ready slot only after the two
second timeout. This way an index is never reused while the hardware
can still write it and never left untracked while a completion can
still arrive.
To avoid an IRQ storm in the event that we really do have a stale packet
that is not timestamped, modify ice_ptp_tx_tstamps_pending() to ignore
stale timestamps when checking for whether to re-arm the IRQ from the
miscellaneous thread function. Instead, only check for stale packets in the
auxiliary work thread. This way we do not check in a tight loop waiting for
a timestamp that may never come.
This effectively reverts commit fcc2cef37fed ("ice/ptp: fix the PTP worker
retrying indefinitely if the link went down"), which tried to release an
index before this 2 second wait period.
Fixes: fcc2cef37fed ("ice/ptp: fix the PTP worker retrying indefinitely if the link went down")
