Add support for user-space control over network device transmit clock sources through a new sysfs interface. A network device may support multiple TX clock sources (OCXO, SyncE reference, external reference clocks) which are critical for time-sensitive networking applications and synchronization protocols. This patch introduces: 1. Core TX clock framework (net/core/tx_clk.c): - per net-device clock source registration and management - sysfs interface under /sys/class/net//tx_clk/ - thread-safe clock switching by using mutex locking 2. Generic netdev integration: - new netdev_tx_clk_ops structure for driver callbacks - TX clock list and kobject directory in struct net_device - registration/cleanup functions for driver use 3. Intel ICE driver implementation: - support for E825 series network cards - three clock sources: OCXO (default), SyncE_ref, ext_ref - per-PF clock state management 4. Kconfig option NET_TX_CLK: - optional feature + user documentation User interface: - Read /sys/class/net//tx_clk/ to get status (0/1) - Write "1" to switch to that clock source - Writing "0" is not supported (one clock must always be active) Example usage: # Check current clock status $ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/tx_clk/* # Switch to external reference clock $ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/eth0/tx_clk/ext_ref Signed-off-by: Arkadiusz Kubalewski --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h | 5 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lib.c | 6 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c | 6 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_tx_clk.c | 113 +++++++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_tx_clk.h | 17 +++ include/linux/netdev_tx_clk.h | 43 ++++++ include/linux/netdevice.h | 6 + net/Kconfig | 21 +++ net/Makefile | 1 + net/core/Makefile | 1 + net/core/tx_clk.c | 150 ++++++++++++++++++++ 12 files changed, 370 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_tx_clk.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_tx_clk.h create mode 100644 include/linux/netdev_tx_clk.h create mode 100644 net/core/tx_clk.c diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile index d0f9c9492363..31f0dc580900 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile @@ -60,3 +60,4 @@ ice-$(CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS) += ice_xsk.o ice-$(CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV) += ice_eswitch.o ice_eswitch_br.o ice-$(CONFIG_GNSS) += ice_gnss.o ice-$(CONFIG_ICE_HWMON) += ice_hwmon.o +ice-$(CONFIG_NET_TX_CLK) += ice_tx_clk.o diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h index 2098f00b3cd3..116c8668f504 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h @@ -204,6 +204,7 @@ enum ice_feature { ICE_F_ROCE_LAG, ICE_F_SRIOV_LAG, ICE_F_MBX_LIMIT, + ICE_F_TX_CLK, ICE_F_MAX };
