Turns out that our implementation of .getcrosststamp() never actually worked. Hyper-V is sending time samples every 5 seconds and this is too much for get_device_system_crosststamp() as it's interpolation algorithm (which nobody is currently using in kernel, btw) accounts for a 'slow' device but we're not slow in Hyper-V, our time reference is too far away. .getcrosststamp() is not currently used, get_device_system_crosststamp() almost always returns -EINVAL and client falls back to using PTP_SYS_OFFSET so this patch doesn't change much. I also tried doing interpolation manually (e.g. the same way hv_ptp_gettime() works and it turns out that we're getting even lower quality: PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE with manual interpolation: * PHC0 0 3 37 4 -3974ns[-5338ns] +/- 977ns * PHC0 0 3 77 7 +2227ns[+3184ns] +/- 576ns * PHC0 0 3 177 10 +3060ns[+5220ns] +/- 548ns * PHC0 0 3 377 12 +3937ns[+4371ns] +/- 1414ns * PHC0 0 3 377 6 +764ns[+1240ns] +/- 1047ns * PHC0 0 3 377 7 -1210ns[-3731ns] +/- 479ns * PHC0 0 3 377 9 +153ns[-1019ns] +/- 406ns * PHC0 0 3 377 12 -872ns[-1793ns] +/- 443ns * PHC0 0 3 377 5 +701ns[+3599ns] +/- 426ns * PHC0 0 3 377 5 -923ns[ -375ns] +/- 1062ns PTP_SYS_OFFSET: * PHC0 0 3 7 5 +72ns[+8020ns] +/- 251ns * PHC0 0 3 17 5 -885ns[-3661ns] +/- 254ns * PHC0 0 3 37 6 -454ns[-5732ns] +/- 258ns * PHC0 0 3 77 10 +1183ns[+3754ns] +/- 164ns * PHC0 0 3 377 5 +579ns[+1137ns] +/- 110ns * PHC0 0 3 377 7 +501ns[+1064ns] +/- 96ns * PHC0 0 3 377 9 +1641ns[+3342ns] +/- 106ns * PHC0 0 3 377 8 -47ns[ +77ns] +/- 160ns * PHC0 0 3 377 5 +54ns[ +107ns] +/- 102ns * PHC0 0 3 377 8 -354ns[ -617ns] +/- 89ns This fact wasn't noticed during the initial testing of the PTP device somehow but got revealed now. Let's just drop .getcrosststamp() implementation for now as it doesn't seem to be suitable for us. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
