Enable Launch Time Control (LTC) support for XDP zero copy via XDP Tx metadata framework.
This patch has been tested with tools/testing/selftests/bpf/xdp_hw_metadata on Intel I225-LM Ethernet controller. Below are the test steps and result.
Test 1: Send a single packet with the launch time set to 1 s in the future.
Test steps: 1. On the DUT, start the xdp_hw_metadata selftest application: $ sudo ./xdp_hw_metadata enp2s0 -l 1000000000 -L 1
2. On the Link Partner, send a UDP packet with VLAN priority 1 to port 9091 of the DUT.
Result: When the launch time is set to 1 s in the future, the delta between the launch time and the transmit hardware timestamp is 0.016 us, as shown in printout of the xdp_hw_metadata application below. 0x562ff5dc8880: rx_desc[4]->addr=84110 addr=84110 comp_addr=84110 EoP rx_hash: 0xE343384 with RSS type:0x1 HW RX-time: 1734578015467548904 (sec:1734578015.4675) delta to User RX-time sec:0.0002 (183.103 usec) XDP RX-time: 1734578015467651698 (sec:1734578015.4677) delta to User RX-time sec:0.0001 (80.309 usec) No rx_vlan_tci or rx_vlan_proto, err=-95 0x562ff5dc8880: ping-pong with csum=561c (want c7dd) csum_start=34 csum_offset=6 HW RX-time: 1734578015467548904 (sec:1734578015.4675) delta to HW Launch-time sec:1.0000 (1000000.000 usec) 0x562ff5dc8880: complete tx idx=4 addr=4018 HW Launch-time: 1734578016467548904 (sec:1734578016.4675) delta to HW TX-complete-time sec:0.0000 (0.016 usec) HW TX-complete-time: 1734578016467548920 (sec:1734578016.4675) delta to User TX-complete-time sec:0.0000 (32.546 usec) XDP RX-time: 1734578015467651698 (sec:1734578015.4677) delta to User TX-complete-time sec:0.9999 (999929.768 usec) HW RX-time: 1734578015467548904 (sec:1734578015.4675) delta to HW TX-complete-time sec:1.0000 (1000000.016 usec) 0x562ff5dc8880: complete rx idx=132 addr=84110
Test 2: Send 1000 packets with a 10 ms interval and the launch time set to 500 us in the future.
Test steps: 1. On the DUT, start the xdp_hw_metadata selftest application: $ sudo chrt -f 99 ./xdp_hw_metadata enp2s0 -l 500000 -L 1 > \ /dev/shm/result.log
2. On the Link Partner, send 1000 UDP packets with a 10 ms interval and VLAN priority 1 to port 9091 of the DUT.
Result: When the launch time is set to 500 us in the future, the average delta between the launch time and the transmit hardware timestamp is 0.016 us, as shown in the analysis of /dev/shm/result.log below. The XDP launch time works correctly in sending 1000 packets continuously. Min delta: 0.005 us Avr delta: 0.016 us Max delta: 0.031 us Total packets forwarded: 1000
