[ Upstream commit db0b124f02 ]
The I225 hardware has a limitation that packets can only be scheduled
in the [0, cycle-time] interval. So, scheduling a packet to the start
of the next cycle doesn't usually work.
To overcome this, we use the Transmit Descriptor first flag to indicates
that a packet should be the first packet (from a queue) in a cycle
according to the section 7.5.2.9.3.4 The First Packet on Each QBV Cycle
in Intel Discrete I225/6 User Manual.
But this only works if there was any packet from that queue during the
current cycle, to avoid this issue, we issue an empty packet if that's
not the case. Also require one more descriptor to be available, to take
into account the empty packet that might be issued.
Test Setup:
Talker: Use l2_tai to generate the launchtime into packet load.
Listener: Use timedump.c to compute the delta between packet arrival
and LaunchTime packet payload.
Test Result:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
