[E1000-devel] e1000e: HW Unit hang on 3.7.10+ kernel.

2013-09-03 Thread Ben Greear
I'm helping another company debug some network issues. They are seeing a hang on a 3.7.10+ kernel. It only happens on a few systems, so the suspicion is that is really is a hardware/driver issue, but of course it could be something else. The kernel is patched with some hacks to the bridging code

Have you looked at PTP (IEEE 1588-2008), which uses the hardware clock to timestamp packets as soon as they leave or enter the interface? If you are looking for maximum accuracy this might be of interest to you. -Original Message- From: Rajesh [mailto:knightraj...@gmail.com] Sent: Frid

Actually, the piece you might be interested in is specifically Hardware Timestamping, which is used by PTP. PTP's primary purpose is to sync clocks on a network, which might be of no interest to you. Check out "ptp4l" for some sample code on how to use/access the 1588 clock. -Original Mess
