This qdisc offload is the closest thing to what the SJA1105 supports in hardware for time-based egress shaping. The switch core really is built around SAE AS6802/TTEthernet (a TTTech standard) but can be made to operate similarly to IEEE 802.1Qbv with some constraints: - The gate control list is a global list for all ports. There are 8 execution threads that iterate through this global list in parallel. I don't know why 8, there are only 4 front-panel ports. - Care must be taken by the user to make sure that two execution threads never get to execute a GCL entry simultaneously. I created a O(n^4) checker for this hardware limitation, prior to accepting a taprio offload configuration as valid. - The spec says that if a GCL entry's interval is shorter than the frame length, you shouldn't send it (and end up in head-of-line blocking). Well, this switch does anyway. - The switch has no concept of ADMIN and OPER configurations. Because it's so simple, the TAS settings are loaded through the static config tables interface, so there isn't even place for any discussion about 'graceful switchover between ADMIN and OPER'. You just reset the switch and upload a new OPER config. - The switch accepts multiple time sources for the gate events. Right now I am using the standalone clock source as opposed to PTP. So the base time parameter doesn't really do much. Support for the PTP clock source will be added in a future series. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
