Linux kernel source tree
f538ffb7a2
Currently, mlx5 driver exposes a PTP device for each network interface, resulting in multiple device nodes representing the same underlying PHC (PTP hardware clock). This causes problem if it is trying to synchronize to itself. For instance, when ptp4l operates on multiple interfaces following different masters, phc2sys attempts to synchronize them in automatic mode. PHC can be configured to work as free running mode or real time mode. All functions can access it directly. In this patch, we create one PTP device for each PHC when it's running in real time mode. All the functions share the same PTP device if the clock identifies they query are same, and they are already grouped by devcom in previous commit. The first mdev in the peer list is chosen when sending MTPPS/MTUTC/MTPPSE/MRTCQ to firmware. Since the function can be unloaded at any time, we need to use a mutex lock to protect the mdev pointer used in PTP and PPS callbacks. Besides, new one should be picked from the peer list when the current is not available. The clock info, which is used by IB, is shared by all the interfaces using the same hardware clock.

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 reStructuredText 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.
