Hi all,
I'm actually searching for the root cause of a similar problem (RX timestamp lost) that I can reproduce here, but the setup is slightly different. The setup:
- igc driver
- i225/226 network card
- When starting to transmit frames using XDP with zero copy enabled
another application (ptp4l) complains about missing RX timestamps
- Loading the XDP program has already been removed (not needed for
TX only)
- ptp4l is using the traditional socket API
- The RX timestamps seem to come back once we stop sending frames
using XDP
The "zero copy support" enabled part is important. If ZC support is not requested everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Best regards, Florian
Hi Florian,
You means this patch does not help on your issue? Need to understand more on the setup and behavior to tell. Are ptp4l and XDP ZC Tx apps running on same queue or separate queue? I suggest you to run " sudo hwstamp_ctl -i eth0 -r 1 " multiple times in the middle to check the behavior.
Thanks & Regards Siang
