This series removes the use of the heavy-weight PTP hardware semaphore in the gettimex64 path. Instead, serialization of access to the time register is done using a host-side spinlock. The timer hardware is shared between PFs on the PCI adapter, so the spinlock must be shared between ice_pf instances too. Replacing the PTP hardware semaphore entirely with a mutex is also possible and you can see it done in my git branch[1], but I am not posting those patches yet to keep the scope of this series limited. [1] https://gitlab.com/mschmidt2/linux/-/commits/ice-ptp-host-side-lock-10 v4: - Patch 1: Use named GENMASK macros and FIELD_PREP. v3: - Longer variable name ("a" -> "adapter"). - Propagate xarray error in ice_adapter_get with ERR_PTR. - Added kernel-doc comments for ice_adapter_{get,put}. v2: - Patch 1: Rely on xarray's own lock. (Suggested by Jiri Pirko) - Patch 2: Do not use *_irqsave with ptp_gltsyn_time_lock, as it's used only in process contexts.
