Hi everyone,
I have been recently trying to get hardware transmit timestamping working and am having some issues. I have seen that 'rte_eth_timesync_enable' is returning 1 which does not appear to be a documented return value (https://doc.dpdk.org/api-22.11/rte__ethdev_8h.html#a5f45aabbfbb08ef986caddc70c48df4c). I assume because of this I subsequently cannot use 'rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp' as an error occurs.
This is a simple breakdown of API calls:
rte_eal_init()
rte_eth_dev_count_avail()
rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port()
rte_eth_dev_info_get()
rte_eth_dev_adjust_nb_rx_tx_desc()
rte_eth_dev_configure(port_id, 1 /* rxrings */, 1 /* txrings */, &port_conf)
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_dev_start()
rte_eth_timesync_enable() - returns 1
rte_eth_macaddr_get()
rte_eth_promiscuous_enable()
rte_eth_link_get()
...
rte_eth_tx_burst()
rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp() - timespec = 0
offloads:
portConf.txmode.offloads |= RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE;
portConf.txmode.offloads |= RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS;
portConf.rxmode.offloads |= RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_TIMESTAMP;
Without rte_eth_timesync_enable and rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp, the tx burst works as expected. If I ignore the return of rte_eth_timesync_enable and try to read the tx timestamp and the timespec is always 0.
