[PATCH v2] can/peak_usb: fix timestamp wrapping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fabian Inostroza <fabianinostrozap@xxxxxxxxx> has discovered a potential
problem in the hardware timestamp reporting from the PCAN-USB USB CAN
interface (only), related to the fact that a timestamp of an event may
precede the timestamp used for synchronization when both records are part
of the same USB packet. However, this case was used to detect the wrapping
of the time counter.

This patch details and fixes the two identified cases where this problem
can occur.

 v2:
 - to detect if 'ts' has wrapped, compare it with previous sync timestamp
   'ts_dev_1' instead of 'ts_period': under no circumstances could the
   event have happened BEFORE the PREVIOUS sync event. This avoid
   considering that case as if 'ts' had wrapped:

       < ts_period >
      |             |
   --0+--------+----+--------->
      ts_dev_1 |    ts_dev_2
               ts

   that is:
   - ts_dev1 very close (or equal) to 0
   - ts event also occurs BEFORE the THEORETICAL ts_period delay
