Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== The DSA TX timestamping situation This series is the moral v2 of "[PATCH net] net: dsa: sja1105: Fix double delivery of TX timestamps to socket error queue" [0] which did not manage to convince public opinion (actually it didn't convince me neither). This fixes PTP timestamping on one particular board, where the DSA switch is sja1105 and the master is gianfar. Unfortunately there is no way to make the fix more general without committing logical inaccuracies: the SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS flag does serve a purpose, even if the sja1105 driver is not using it now: it prevents delivering a SW timestamp to the app socket when the HW timestamp will be provided. So not setting this flag (the approach from v1) might create avoidable complications in the future (not to mention that there isn't any satisfactory explanation on why that would be the correct solution). So the goal of this change set is to create a more strict framework for DSA master devices when attached to PTP switches, and to fix the first master driver that is overstepping its duties and is delivering unsolicited TX timestamps.

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.
