The ixgbe driver has logic to handle only one Tx timestamp at a time, using a state bit lock to avoid multiple requests at once. It may be possible, if incredibly unlikely, that a Tx timestamp event is requested but never completes. Since we use an interrupt scheme to determine when the Tx timestamp occurred we would never clear the state bit in this case. Add an ixgbe_ptp_tx_hang() function similar to the already existing ixgbe_ptp_rx_hang() function. This function runs in the watchdog routine and makes sure we eventually recover from this case instead of permanently disabling Tx timestamps. Note: there is no currently known way to cause this without hacking the driver code to force it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
