net: microchip: lan743x: improve throughput with rx timestamp config
Currently all RX frames are timestamped which results in a performance
penalty when timestamping is not needed. The default is now being
changed to not timestamp any Rx frames (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE), but
support has been added to allow changing the desired RX timestamping
mode (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL - which was the previous setting and
HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_EVENT are now supported) using
SIOCSHWTSTAMP. All settings were tested using the hwstamp_ctl application.
It is also noted that ptp4l, when started, preconfigures the device to
timestamp using HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_EVENT, so this driver continues
to work properly "out of the box".
Test setup: x64 PC with LAN7430 ---> x64 PC as partner
iperf3 with - Timestamp all incoming packets:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-5.05 sec 517 MBytes 859 Mbits/sec 0 sender
[ 5] 0.00-5.00 sec 515 MBytes 864 Mbits/sec receiver
iperf Done.
iperf3 with - Timestamp only PTP packets:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
