Background: the switch only offers partial RX timestamps (24 bits) and
it is up to the driver to read the PTP clock to fill those timestamps up
to 64 bits. But the PTP clock readout needs to happen quickly enough (in
0.135 seconds, in fact), otherwise the PTP clock will wrap around 24
bits, condition which cannot be detected.
Looking at the 'max 134217731' value on output line 3, one can see that
in hex it is 0x8000003. Because the PTP clock resolution is 8 ns,
that means 0x1000000 in ticks, which is exactly 2^24. So indeed this is
a PTP clock wraparound, but the reason might be surprising.
What is going on is that sja1105_tstamp_reconstruct(priv, now, ts)
expects a "now" time that is later than the "ts" was snapshotted at.
This, of course, is obvious: we read the PTP time _after_ the partial RX
timestamp was received. However, the workqueue is processing frames from
a skb queue and reuses the same PTP time, read once at the beginning.
Normally the skb queue only contains one frame and all goes well. But
when the skb queue contains two frames, the second frame that gets
dequeued might have been partially timestamped by the RX MAC _after_ we
had read our PTP time initially.
The code was originally like that due to concerns that SPI access for
PTP time readout is a slow process, and we are time-constrained anyway
(aka: premature optimization). But some timing analysis reveals that the
time spent until the RX timestamp is completely reconstructed is 1 order
of magnitude lower than the 0.135 s deadline even under worst-case
conditions. So we can afford to read the PTP time for each frame in the
RX timestamping queue, which of course ensures that the full PTP time is
in the partial timestamp's future.
