Even in kernel version 4.15.2 in file net/8021q/vlan_dev.c function
vlan_ethtool_get_ts_info contains the following code:
info->so_timestamping = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE |
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE;
And it seems that absence of SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE flag
in this place is leading to fail in ethtool check. Is adding the flag in
this function
is all I need to do to implement this functionality? It seems like it
isn't, but I'm not
sure. Don't you know any manual I could refer?
Also, as a network driver I am using a custom EoP driver. Do you have any
ideas
about on which stage something can go wrong? I guess that the problem may be
caused by this driver.
