The socketopt only gets enabled with use of MGMT Set Experimental Feature Command: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/blob/master/doc/mgmt-api.txt#L3205 Anyway you can see on the tests how we are using it. > Would be great to get more info and/or second opinion, because it's not > sufficiently "obviously right" to me to pull right away :( Well I assumed sockopt starting with SO_ sort of means it applies that all socket families, in fact SO_TIMESTAMP already seem to work without these changes they just don't generate anything, so in a way we are just implementing a missing feature.

I don't know anything about queuing in BT, in terms of timestamping the SEND - SCHED difference is supposed to indicate the level of host delay or host congestion. If the queuing in BT happens mostly in the device HW queue then it may make sense to generate SCHED when handing over to the driver. OTOH if the devices can coalesce or delay completions the completion timeout may be less accurate than stamping before submitting to HW...

I'm looking for the analysis that the choices > were well thought thru. SCM_TSTAMP_SND is taken before an skb is passed to the device. This matches request SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE. A timestamp returned on transmit completion is requested as SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE. We do not have a type for a software timestamp taken at tx completion cleaning. If anything, I would think it would be a passes as a hardware timestamp. Returning SCHED when queuing to a device and SND later on receiving completions seems like not following SO_TIMESTAMPING convention to me. But I don't fully know the HCI model. As for the "experimental" BT_POLL_ERRQUEUE. This is an addition to the ABI, right? So immutable. Is it fair to call that experimental? It might be safer to only suppress the sk_error_report in sock_queue_err_skb. Or at least in bt_sock_poll to check the type of all outstanding errors and only suppress if all are timestamps.

I'm looking for the analysis that the choices > were well thought thru. I guess you want to know if is SCHED is done at enqueing (before submitting to the driver) or dequeing (after it has been submitted), right now it is the former, the said the driver should normally just submit the packets immediately since we do have events from HCI to informing when a buffer has been freed, so that tells HW queue situation, so the driver doesn't have any queueing. > > > How does it compare to stamping in the driver in terms of accuracy? > > > > @Pauli any input here? > > > > > - the "experimental" BT_POLL_ERRQUEUE, how does the user space look? > > > > There are test cases in BlueZ: > > > > https://github.com/bluez/bluez/commit/141f66411ca488e26bdd64e6f858ffa190395d23 > > > > > What is the "upper layer"?

This is more or less explained on the cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/713b1d0333eb2f12e63bc8a7b8f423e1240abae0.camel@iki.fi/T/ The problem with POLLERR is that there are 2 processes (bluetoothd and pipewire) monitoring the same file descriptor, so it will keep waking up both processes to process the errqueue while only one is really reading those events (pipewire), bluetoothd is only really monitoring the sockets to know if there is a disconnection but it can't really process the errqueue otherwise pipewire would compete reading from the same queue. Anyway I wasn't sure this was the best approach thus we decided to go with something experimental until we have a better understanding how all of this should work.

In that case I think we probably misinterpret it, at least I though that TX_HARDWARE would really be a hardware generated timestamp using it own clock, if you are saying that TX_HARDWARE is just marking the TX completion of the packet at the host then we can definitely align with the current exception, that said we do have a command to actually read out the actual timestamp from the BT controller, that is usually more precise since some of the connection do require usec precision which is something that can get skew by the processing of HCI events themselves, well I guess we use that if the controller supports it and if it doesn't then we do based on the host timestamp when processing the HCI event indicating the completion of the transmission. > Returning SCHED when queuing to a device and SND later on receiving > completions seems like not following SO_TIMESTAMPING convention to me. > But I don't fully know the HCI model. > > As for the "experimental" BT_POLL_ERRQUEUE. This is an addition to the > ABI, right? So immutable. Is it fair to call that experimental? I guess you are referring to the fact that sockopt ID reserved to BT_POLL_ERRQUEUE cannot be reused anymore even if we drop its usage in the future, yes that is correct, but we can actually return ENOPROTOOPT as it current does: if (!bt_poll_errqueue_enabled()) return -ENOPROTOOPT Anyway I would be really happy to drop it so we don't have to worry about it later. > It might be safer to only suppress the sk_error_report in > sock_queue_err_skb.

Not that it would make it much simpler since the library tends to wrap the usage of poll/epoll but POLLERR meaning both errors or errqueue events is sort of the problem we are trying to figure out how to process them separately.

It is just read from the tx descriptor on completion. We really don't have a good model for a software timestamp taken at completion processing. It may be worthwhile more broadly, especially for devices that do not support true hardware timestamps. Perhaps we should add an SCM_TSTAMP_TXCOMPLETION for this case. And a new SOF_TIMESTAMPING option to go with it.

The process would still be awoken, of course. If bluetoothd can just be modified to ignore the reports, that would indeed be easiest from a kernel PoV. > -- > Luiz Augusto von Dentz

Perhaps this is because poll is level triggered. Maybe epoll in edge triggered mode would avoid re-waking for the same outstanding events.

Sounds like the best way forward, thanks! Could you drop them and resend the PR? It's going to take me until noon pacific to write up the PR text for all of net-next, to give you a sense of when our PR will come out.

Perfect, will also make sure to include the btintel_pcie fix for the warning and drop the entire set implementing support SO_TIMESTAMPING.
Hi all, Thanks for the comments, I guess the original series should have been Cc'd more widely to get them earlier. ma, 2024-05-13 kello 22:09 -0400, Willem de Bruijn kirjoitti: > Luiz Augusto von Dentz wrote: > > Hi Willem, > > > > On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 9:32 PM Willem de Bruijn > > <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > Jakub Kicinski wrote: > > > > On Mon, 13 May 2024 18:09:31 -0400 Luiz Augusto von Dentz wrote: > > > > > > There is one more warning in the Intel driver: > > > > > > > > > > > > drivers/bluetooth/btintel_pcie.c:673:33: warning: symbol 'causes_list' > > > > > > was not declared.

TSTAMP_ACK appeared to not really match semantics either, so TSTAMP_SND it then was. The general timestamping flow here was: sendmsg() from user generates skbs to net/bluetooth side queue | * wait in net/bluetooth side queue until HW has free packet slot | * send to driver (-> SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED*) | * driver (usu. ASAP) queues to transport e.g. USB | * transport tx complete, skb freed | * packet waits in hardware-side buffers (usu. the largest delay) | * packet completion report from HW (-> SCM_TSTAMP_SND*) | * for one packet type, HW timestamp for last tx packet can queried The packet completion report does not imply the packet was received.

Missing SCHED if packets do not go through software queuing should be fine.

If > POLL_ERRQUEUE sounds like a bad idea, maybe we can go back to that. We have prior art to avoid having timestamp completions on MSG_ERRQUEUE set sk_err and so block normal processing. Additional work on opting out of timestamp/zerocopy wake-ups sounds reasonable to me.
