Excuse me for late reply and thanks much for split to preferred form. Matej Vasilevski has tested updated linux-can-next testing on Xilinx Zynq 7000 based MZ_APO board and used it with his patches to do proceed next round of testing of Jan Charvat's NuttX TWAI (CAN) driver on ESP32C3. We plan that CTU CAN FD timestamping will be send for RFC/discussion soon. I would like to thank to Andrew Dennison who implemented, tested and shares integration with LiteX and RISC-V https://github.com/litex-hub/linux-on-litex-vexriscv He uses development version of the CTU CAN FD IP core with configurable number of Tx buffers (2 to 8) for which will be required automatic setup logic in the driver. I need to discuss with Ondrej Ille actual state and his plans. But basically ntxbufs in the ctucan_probe_common() has to be assigned from TXTB_INFO TXT_BUFFER_COUNT field. For older core version the TXT_BUFFER_COUNT field bits should be equal to zero so when value is zero, the original version with fixed 4 buffers will be recognized. When value is configurable then for (uncommon) number of buffers which is not power of two, there will be likely a problem with way how buffers queue is implemented txtb_id = priv->txb_head % priv->ntxbufs; ... priv->txb_head++; ... priv->txb_tail++; When I have provided example for this type of queue many years ago I have probably shown example with power of 2 masking, but modulo by arbitrary number does not work with sequence overflow. Which means to add there two "if"s unfortunately if (++priv->txb_tail == 2 * priv->ntxbufs) priv->txb_tail = 0; We need 2 * priv->ntxbufs range to distinguish empty and full queue... But modulo is not nice either so I probably come with some other solution in a longer term. In the long term, I want to implement virtual queues to allow multiqueue to use dynamic Tx priority of up to 8 the buffers...

I'm not sure of there is a real world benefit (only gut feeling, should be measured) of using more than 4, but less than 8 TX buffers. You can make use of more TX buffers, if you implement (fully hardware based) TX IRQ coalescing (== handle more than one TX complete interrupt at a time) like in the mcp251xfd driver, or BQL support (== send more than one TX CAN frame at a time). I've played a bit with BQL support on the mcp251xfd driver (which is attached by SPI), but with mixed results. Probably an issue with proper configuration. > We need 2 * priv->ntxbufs range to distinguish empty and full queue... > But modulo is not nice either so I probably come with some other > solution in a longer term.

ACK, multiqueue TX support would be nice for things like the Earliest TX Time First scheduler (ETF). 1 TX queue for ETF, the other for bulk messages. regards, Marc

How did you decide which queue to use? I had a queue per fd, with queues sorted by id of the next message, then sent the lowest ID next for hardware with a single queue. For hardware with lots of buffers there was a hw buffer per queue. I didn't have to deal with the generic cases that would need to be handled in linux. I must say ctucanfd has a much nicer interface than the other can hardware I've used. Kind regards, Andrew

Can you > provide that patch soonish? We discuss with Ondrej Ille final location of the bits with queue length information etc... The version 3.0 of the core is in development still. So I do not like to introduce something which would break compatability with future revisions. Yes, we can check for version reported by IP core but when it is possible I would not introduce such logic... So if it gets to 5.19 it would be great but if we should risk incompatible changes or too cluttered logic then it will be 5.20 material. Other option is to add Kconfig option to specify maximal number of TX buffers used by the driver for now. > > > You can make use of more TX buffers, if you implement (fully > > > hardware based) TX IRQ coalescing (== handle more than one TX > > > complete interrupt at a time) like in the mcp251xfd driver, or BQL > > > support (== send more than one TX CAN frame at a time).

HW coalescing not considered yet. Generally my intention for CAN use is usually robotic and motion control and there is CAN and even CAN FD on edge with its latencies already and SocketCAN layer adds yet another level due common tasklets and threads with other often dense and complex protocols on ETHERNET so to lover CPU load by IRQ coalescing is not my priority. We have done latencies evaluation of SocketCAN, LinCAN and RTEMS years ago on Oliver Hartkopp's requests on standard and fully-preemptive kernels on more targets (x86, PowerPC, ...) and I hope that we revive CAN Bench project on Xilinx Zynq based MZ_APO again, see Martin Jerabek's theses FPGA Based CAN Bus Channels Mutual Latency Tester and Evaluation, 2016 https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/zynq/zynq-can-sja1000-top/wikis/uploads/56b4d27d8f81ae390fc98bdce803398f/F3-BP-2016-Jerabek-Martin-Jerabek-thesis-2016.pdf It is actual work of Matej Vasilevski. So I hope to have again more insight into latencies on CAN. By the way, I plan to speak with Carsten Emde on Embedded World if these is interrest to add continuous HW timestamping based CAN latencies testing into OSADL QA Farm https://www.osadl.org/OSADL-QA-Farm-Real-time.linux-real-time.0.html Other option is to setup system and run it locally at CTU as we run complete CI on CTU CAN FD. > > > > We need 2 * priv->ntxbufs range to distinguish empty and full > > > > queue...

How did you decide which queue to use? For example for CAN open there should be at least three queues to prevent CAN Tx priority inversion. one for NMT (network management), one for PDO (process data objects) and least priority for SDO (service data objects). That such applications works somehow with single queue is only matter of luck and low level of the link bandwidth utilization. We have done research how to use Linux networking infrastructure to route application send CAN messages into multiple queues according to the CAN ID priorities. There are some results in mainline from that work Rostislav Lisovy 2014: can: Propagate SO_PRIORITY of raw sockets to skbs Rostislav Lisovy 2012: net: em_canid: Ematch rule to match CAN frames according to their identifiers https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/net/sched/em_canid.c So some enhancements and testing in this direction belongs between my long horizon goals. But low priority now because my company and even studnets at university are paid from other projects (silicon-heaven, ESA, Bluetooth-monitoring, NuttX etc.) so Linux CAN is hobby only at this moment. But others have contracts for CTU CAN FD, Skoda Auto testers etc. there...

Hi Ondrej, Based on this it seems my patches can be cleaned up for merging. Pavel / Odjrej: did you want to include the patches in your public driver tree and submit from there, or shall I submit them? Adding to yoru tree would keep it in sync with the upstream driver already submitted. If you provide a review I'll cleanup any issues reported. I can submit directly to Linux as Marc proposed but having a single authoritative source seems cleanest to me. My current patches are on master in this tree: https://github.com/AndrewD/ctucanfd_ip_core I'll add "Signed-off-by: " to the commit messages next time I touch this - once I get clarity on the way forward. I don't have an immediate need for a Linux driver for ctucanfd so haven't touched this recently. Kind regards, Andrew
The minor problems reported by actual checkpatch.pl and patchwork rules has been resolved at price of disable of some debugging options used initially to locate FPGA PCIe integration problems. The CTU CAN FD IP core driver documentation has been linked into CAN drivers index. The code has been tested on QEMU with CTU CAN FD IP core included functional model of PCIe integration. The Linux net-next CTU CAN FD driver has been tested on real Xilinx Zynq hardware by Matej Vasilevski even together with his timestamp support patches. Preparation for public discussion and mainlining is work in progress.
