Re: [PATCH v8 net-next 2/3] netdevsim: Implement basic ptp support

On 12.08.2026 19:37, Maciek Machnikowski wrote:

Add support for virtual timestamping inside the netdevsim driver.
The implementation uses two attached ptp_mock clocks, reads the timestamps
of the ones attached either to the netdevsim or its peer and returns
timestamps using standard timestamps APIs.

This implementation enables running ptp4l on netdevsim adapters and
introduces a new ptp selftest.

nit: technically, you can make sashiko silent in this case by simply swapping
switch statments order :)
