    enetc: add support time specific departure base on the qos etf · 0d08c9ec
    Po Liu authored
    ENETC implement time specific departure capability, which enables
    the user to specify when a frame can be transmitted. When this
    capability is enabled, the device will delay the transmission of
    the frame so that it can be transmitted at the precisely specified time.
    The delay departure time up to 0.5 seconds in the future. If the
    departure time in the transmit BD has not yet been reached, based
    on the current time, the packet will not be transmitted.
    
    This driver was loaded by Qos driver ETF. User could load it by tc
    commands. Here are the example commands:
    
    tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: mqprio \
    	   num_tc 8 map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 hw 1
    tc qdisc replace dev eth0 parent 1:8 etf \
    	   clockid CLOCK_TAI delta 30000  offload
    
    These example try to set queue mapping first and then set queue 7
    with 30us ahead dequeue time.
    
    Then user send test frame should set SO_TXTIME feature for socket.
    
    There are also some limitations for this feature in hardware:
    - Transmit checksum offloads and time specific departure operation
    are mutually exclusive.
    - Time Aware Shaper feature (Qbv) offload and time specific departure
    operation are mutually exclusive.
