+Port 5 of the switch is muxed between:
+1. GMAC5: GMAC5 can interface with another external MAC or PHY.
+2. PHY of port 0 or port 4: PHY interfaces with an external MAC like 2nd GMAC
+ of the SOC. Used in many setups where port 0/4 becomes the WAN port.
+ Note: On a MT7621 SOC with integrated switch: 2nd GMAC can only connected to
+ GMAC5 when the gpios for RGMII2 (GPIO 22-33) are not used and not
+ connected to external component!
+
+Port 5 modes/configurations:
+1. Port 5 is disabled and isolated: An external phy can interface to the 2nd
+ GMAC of the SOC.
+ In the case of a build-in MT7530 switch, port 5 shares the RGMII bus with 2nd
+ GMAC and an optional external phy. Mind the GPIO/pinctl settings of the SOC!
+2. Port 5 is muxed to PHY of port 0/4: Port 0/4 interfaces with 2nd GMAC.
+ It is a simple MAC to PHY interface, port 5 needs to be setup for xMII mode
+ and RGMII delay.
+3. Port 5 is muxed to GMAC5 and can interface to an external phy.
+ Port 5 becomes an extra switch port.
+ Only works on platform where external phy TX<->RX lines are swapped.
+ Like in the Ubiquiti ER-X-SFP.
+4. Port 5 is muxed to GMAC5 and interfaces with the 2nd GAMC as 2nd CPU port.
+ Currently a 2nd CPU port is not supported by DSA code.
+
+Depending on how the external PHY is wired:
+1. normal: The PHY can only connect to 2nd GMAC but not to the switch
+2. swapped: RGMII TX, RX are swapped; external phy interface with the switch as
+ a ethernet port. But can't interface to the 2nd GMAC.
+
+Based on the DT the port 5 mode is configured.
+
+Driver tries to lookup the phy-handle of the 2nd GMAC of the master device.
+When phy-handle matches PHY of port 0 or 4 then port 5 set-up as mode 2.
+phy-mode must be set, see also example 2 below!
+ * mt7621: phy-mode = "rgmii-txid";
+ * mt7623: phy-mode = "rgmii";

-* Amlogic Meson DWMAC Ethernet controller
-
-The device inherits all the properties of the dwmac/stmmac devices
-described in the file stmmac.txt in the current directory with the
-following changes.
-
-Required properties on all platforms:
-
-- compatible: Depending on the platform this should be one of:
- - "amlogic,meson6-dwmac"
- - "amlogic,meson8b-dwmac"
- - "amlogic,meson8m2-dwmac"
- - "amlogic,meson-gxbb-dwmac"
- - "amlogic,meson-axg-dwmac"
- Additionally "snps,dwmac" and any applicable more
- detailed version number described in net/stmmac.txt
- should be used.
-
-- reg: The first register range should be the one of the DWMAC
- controller. The second range is is for the Amlogic specific
- configuration (for example the PRG_ETHERNET register range
- on Meson8b and newer)
-
-Required properties on Meson8b, Meson8m2, GXBB and newer:
-- clock-names: Should contain the following:
- - "stmmaceth" - see stmmac.txt
- - "clkin0" - first parent clock of the internal mux
- - "clkin1" - second parent clock of the internal mux
-
-Optional properties on Meson8b, Meson8m2, GXBB and newer:
-- amlogic,tx-delay-ns: The internal RGMII TX clock delay (provided
- by this driver) in nanoseconds. Allowed values
- are: 0ns, 2ns, 4ns, 6ns.
- When phy-mode is set to "rgmii" then the TX
- delay should be explicitly configured. When
- not configured a fallback of 2ns is used.
- When the phy-mode is set to either "rgmii-id"
- or "rgmii-txid" the TX clock delay is already
- provided by the PHY. In that case this
- property should be set to 0ns (which disables
- the TX clock delay in the MAC to prevent the
- clock from going off because both PHY and MAC
- are adding a delay).
- Any configuration is ignored when the phy-mode
- is set to "rmii".
-
-Example for Meson6:
-
- ethmac: ethernet@c9410000 {
- compatible = "amlogic,meson6-dwmac", "snps,dwmac";
- reg = <0xc9410000 0x10000

+
+Overview
+========
+
+This driver supports Netronome's line of Flow Processor devices,
+including the NFP4000, NFP5000, and NFP6000 models, which are also
+incorporated in the company's family of Agilio SmartNICs. The SR-IOV
+physical and virtual functions for these devices are supported by
+the driver.
+
+Acquiring Firmware
+==================
+
+The NFP4000 and NFP6000 devices require application specific firmware
+to function. Application firmware can be located either on the host file system
+or in the device flash (if supported by management firmware).
+
+Firmware files on the host filesystem contain card type (`AMDA-*` string), media
+config etc. They should be placed in `/lib/firmware/netronome` directory to
+load firmware from the host file system.
+
+Firmware for basic NIC operation is available in the upstream
+`linux-firmware.git` repository.
+
+Firmware in NVRAM
+-----------------
+
+Recent versions of management firmware supports loading application
+firmware from flash when the host driver gets probed. The firmware loading
+policy configuration may be used to configure this feature appropriately.
+
+Devlink or ethtool can be used to update the application firmware on the device
+flash by providing the appropriate `nic_AMDA*.nffw` file to the respective
+command. Users need to take care to write the correct firmware image for the
+card and media configuration to flash.
+
+Available storage space in flash depends on the card being used.
+
+Dealing with multiple projects
+------------------------------
+
+NFP hardware is fully programmable therefore there can be different
+firmware images targeting different applications.
+
+When using application firmware from host, we recommend placing
+actual firmware files in application-named subdirectories in
+`/lib/firmware/netronome` and linking the desired files, e.g.::
+
+ $ tree /lib/firmware/netronome/
+ /lib/firmware/netronome/
+ ├── bpf
+ │   ├── nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw
+ │   └── nic_AMDA0081-0001_4x10.nffw
+ ├── flower
+ │   ├── nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw
+ │   └── nic_AMDA0081-0001_4x10.nffw
+ ├── nic
+ │   ├── nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw
+ │   └── nic_AMDA0081-0001_4x10.nffw
+ ├── nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw -> bpf/nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw
+ └── nic_AMDA0081-0001_4x10.nffw -> bpf/nic_AMDA0081-0001_4x10.nffw
+
+ 3 directories, 8 files
+
+You may need to use hard instead of symbolic links on distributions
+which use old `mkinitrd` command instead of `dracut` (e.g. Ubuntu).
+
+After changing firmware files you may need to regenerate the initramfs
+image. Initramfs contains drivers and firmware files your system may
+need to boot. Refer to the documentation of your distribution to find
+out how to update initramfs. Good indication of stale initramfs
+is system loading wrong driver or firmware on boot, but when driver is
+later reloaded manually everything works correctly.
+
+Selecting firmware per device
+-----------------------------
+
+Most commonly all cards on the system use the same type of firmware.
+If you want to load specific firmware image for a specific card, you
+can use either the PCI bus address or serial number. Driver will print
+which files it's looking for when it recognizes a NFP device::
+
+ nfp: Looking for firmware file in order of priority:
+ nfp: netronome/serial-00-12-34-aa-bb-cc-10-ff.nffw: not found
+ nfp: netronome/pci-0000:02:00.0.nffw: not found
+ nfp: netronome/nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw: found, loading...
+
+In this case if file (or link) called *serial-00-12-34-aa-bb-5d-10-ff.nffw*
+or *pci-0000:02:00.0.nffw* is present in `/lib/firmware/netronome` this
+firmware file will take precedence over `nic_AMDA*` files.
+
+Note that `serial-*` and `pci-*` files are **not** automatically included
+in initramfs, you will have to refer to documentation of appropriate tools
+to find out how to include them.
+
+Firmware loading policy
+-----------------------
+
+Firmware loading policy is controlled via three HWinfo parameters
+stored as key value pairs in the device flash:
+
+app_fw_from_flash
+ Defines which firmware should take precedence, 'Disk' (0), 'Flash' (1) or
+ the 'Preferred' (2) firmware. When 'Preferred' is selected, the management
+ firmware makes the decision over which firmware will be loaded by comparing
+ versions of the flash firmware and the host supplied firmware.
+ This variable is configurable using the 'fw_load_policy'
+ devlink parameter.
+
+abi_drv_reset
+ Defines if the driver should reset the firmware when
+ the driver is probed, either 'Disk' (0) if firmware was found on disk,
+ 'Always' (1) reset or 'Never' (2) reset. Note that the device is always
+ reset on driver unload if firmware was loaded when the driver was probed.
+ This variable is configurable using the 'reset_dev_on_drv_probe'
+ devlink parameter.
+
+abi_drv_load_ifc
+ Defines a list of PF devices allowed to load FW on the device.
+ This variable is not currently user configurable.

+Devlink Trap
+============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform functions such
+as bridging and routing must also be able to send specific packets to the
+kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing.
+
+For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to send
+IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge module.
+Without processing such packets, the bridge module could never populate its
+MDB.
+
+As another example, consider a device acting as router which has received an IP
+packet with a TTL of 1. Upon routing the packet the device must send it to the
+kernel so that it will route it as well and generate an ICMP Time Exceeded
+error datagram. Without letting the kernel route such packets itself, utilities
+such as ``traceroute`` could never work.
+
+The fundamental ability of sending certain packets to the kernel for processing
+is called "packet trapping".
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism allows capable device drivers to register their
+supported packet traps with ``devlink`` and report trapped packets to
+``devlink`` for further analysis.
+
+Upon receiving trapped packets, ``devlink`` will perform a per-trap packets and
+bytes accounting and potentially report the packet to user space via a netlink
+event along with all the provided metadata (e.g., trap reason, timestamp, input
+port). This is especially useful for drop traps (see :ref:`Trap-Types`)
+as it allows users to obtain further visibility into packet drops that would
+otherwise be invisible.
+
+The following diagram provides a general overview of ``devlink-trap``::

+Trap Types
+==========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap types:
+
+ * ``drop``: Trapped packets were dropped by the underlying device. Packets
+ are only processed by ``devlink`` and not injected to the kernel's Rx path.
+ The trap action (see :ref:`Trap-Actions`) can be changed.
+ * ``exception``: Trapped packets were not forwarded as intended by the
+ underlying device due to an exception (e.g., TTL error, missing neighbour
+ entry) and trapped to the control plane for resolution. Packets are
+ processed by ``devlink`` and injected to the kernel's Rx path. Changing the
+ action of such traps is not allowed, as it can easily break the control
+ plane.
+
+.. _Trap-Actions:
+
+Trap Actions
+============
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap actions:
+
+ * ``trap``: The sole copy of the packet is sent to the CPU.
+ * ``drop``: The packet is dropped by the underlying device and a copy is not
+ sent to the CPU.
+
+Generic Packet Traps
+====================
+
+Generic packet traps are used to describe traps that trap well-defined packets
+or packets that are trapped due to well-defined conditions (e.g., TTL error).
+Such traps can be shared by multiple device drivers and their description must
+be added to the following table:

+Driver-specific Packet Traps
+============================
+
+Device drivers can register driver-specific packet traps, but these must be
+clearly documented. Such traps can correspond to device-specific exceptions and
+help debug packet drops caused by these exceptions. The following list includes
+links to the description of driver-specific traps registered by various device
+drivers:
+
+ * :doc:`/devlink-trap-netdevsim`
+
+Generic Packet Trap Groups
+==========================
+
+Generic packet trap groups are used to aggregate logically related packet
+traps. These groups allow the user to batch operations such as setting the trap
+action of all member traps. In addition, ``devlink-trap`` can report aggregated
+per-group packets and bytes statistics, in case per-trap statistics are too
+narrow. The description of these groups must be added to the following table:
+
+.. list-table:: List of Generic Packet Trap Groups
+ :widths: 10 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``l2_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ layer 2 forwarding (i.e., bridge)
+ * - ``l3_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device or hit
+ an exception (e.g., TTL error) during layer 3 forwarding
+ * - ``buffer_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device due to
+ an enqueue decision
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/devlink_trap.sh`` for a
+test covering the core infrastructure. Test cases should be added for any new
+functionality.
+
+Device drivers should focus their tests on device-specific functionality, such
+as the triggering of supported packet traps.

this mode, the switch ports beneath br0 are not capable of regular traffic, and
are only used as a conduit for switchdev operations.
+Offloads
+========
+
+Time-aware scheduling
+---------------------
+
+The switch supports a variation of the enhancements for scheduled traffic
+specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2018 (formerly 802.1Qbv). This means it can be used to
+ensure deterministic latency for priority traffic that is sent in-band with its
+gate-open event in the network schedule.
+
+This capability can be managed through the tc-taprio offload ('flags 2'). The
+difference compared to the software implementation of taprio is that the latter
+would only be able to shape traffic originated from the CPU, but not
+autonomously forwarded flows.
+
+The device has 8 traffic classes, and maps incoming frames to one of them based
+on the VLAN PCP bits (if no VLAN is present, the port-based default is used).
+As described in the previous sections, depending on the value of
+``vlan_filtering``, the EtherType recognized by the switch as being VLAN can
+either be the typical 0x8100 or a custom value used internally by the driver
+for tagging. Therefore, the switch ignores the VLAN PCP if used in standalone
+or bridge mode with ``vlan_filtering=0``, as it will not recognize the 0x8100
+EtherType. In these modes, injecting into a particular TX queue can only be
+done by the DSA net devices, which populate the PCP field of the tagging header
+on egress. Using ``vlan_filtering=1``, the behavior is the other way around:
+offloaded flows can be steered to TX queues based on the VLAN PCP, but the DSA
+net devices are no longer able to do that. To inject frames into a hardware TX
+queue with VLAN awareness active, it is necessary to create a VLAN
+sub-interface on the DSA master port, and send normal (0x8100) VLAN-tagged
+towards the switch, with the VLAN PCP bits set appropriately.
+
+Management traffic (having DMAC 01-80-C2-xx-xx-xx or 01-19-1B-xx-xx-xx) is the
+notable exception: the switch always treats it with a fixed priority and
+disregards any VLAN PCP bits even if present. The traffic class for management
+traffic has a value of 7 (highest priority) at the moment, which is not
+configurable in the driver.
+
+Below is an example of configuring a 500 us cyclic schedule on egress port
+``swp5``. The traffic class gate for management traffic (7) is open for 100 us,
+and the gates for all other traffic classes are open for 400 us::
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+
+ set -e -u -o pipefail
+
+ NSEC_PER_SEC="1000000000"
+
+ gatemask() {
+ local tc_list="$1"
+ local mask=0

+ done
+

+ }

+ echo "Please start the ptp4l service"
+ exit

+ # Phase-align the base time to the start of the next second.

+ sched-entry S $(gatemask 7) 100000 \
+ sched-entry S $(gatemask "0 1 2 3 4 5 6") 400000 \
+ flags 2
+
+It is possible to apply the tc-taprio offload on multiple egress ports. There
+are hardware restrictions related to the fact that no gate event may trigger
+simultaneously on two ports. The driver checks the consistency of the schedules
+against this restriction and errors out when appropriate. Schedule analysis is
+needed to avoid this, which is outside the scope of the document.
+
+At the moment, the time-aware scheduler can only be triggered based on a
+standalone clock and not based on PTP time. This means the base-time argument
+from tc-taprio is ignored and the schedule starts right away. It also means it
+is more difficult to phase-align the scheduler with the other devices in the
+network.

+===================
+
+Overview / What Is J1939
+========================
+
+SAE J1939 defines a higher layer protocol on CAN. It implements a more
+sophisticated addressing scheme and extends the maximum packet size above 8
+bytes. Several derived specifications exist, which differ from the original
+J1939 on the application level, like MilCAN A, NMEA2000 and especially
+ISO-11783 (ISOBUS). This last one specifies the so-called ETP (Extended
+Transport Protocol) which is has been included in this implementation. This
+results in a maximum packet size of ((2 ^ 24) - 1) * 7 bytes == 111 MiB.
+
+Specifications used
+-------------------
+
+* SAE J1939-21 : data link layer
+* SAE J1939-81 : network management
+* ISO 11783-6 : Virtual Terminal (Extended Transport Protocol)
+
+.. _j1939-motivation:
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+Given the fact there's something like SocketCAN with an API similar to BSD
+sockets, we found some reasons to justify a kernel implementation for the
+addressing and transport methods used by J1939.
+
+* **Addressing:** when a process on an ECU communicates via J1939, it should
+ not necessarily know its source address. Although at least one process per
+ ECU should know the source address. Other processes should be able to reuse
+ that address. This way, address parameters for different processes
+ cooperating for the same ECU, are not duplicated. This way of working is
+ closely related to the UNIX concept where programs do just one thing, and do
+ it well.
+
+* **Dynamic addressing:** Address Claiming in J1939 is time critical.
+ Furthermore data transport should be handled properly during the address
+ negotiation. Putting this functionality in the kernel eliminates it as a
+ requirement for _every_ user space process that communicates via J1939. This
+ results in a consistent J1939 bus with proper addressing.
+
+* **Transport:** both TP & ETP reuse some PGNs to relay big packets over them.
+ Different processes may thus use the same TP & ETP PGNs without actually
+ knowing it. The individual TP & ETP sessions _must_ be serialized
+ (synchronized) between different processes. The kernel solves this problem
+ properly and eliminates the serialization (synchronization) as a requirement
+ for _every_ user space process that communicates via J1939.
+
+J1939 defines some other features (relaying, gateway, fast packet transport,
+...). In-kernel code for these would not contribute to protocol stability.
+Therefore, these parts are left to user space.
+
+The J1939 sockets operate on CAN network devices (see SocketCAN). Any J1939
+user space library operating on CAN raw sockets will still operate properly.
+Since such library does not communicate with the in-kernel implementation, care
+must be taken that these two do not interfere. In practice, this means they
+cannot share ECU addresses. A single ECU (or virtual ECU) address is used by
+the library exclusively, or by the in-kernel system exclusively.
+
+J1939 concepts
+==============
+
+PGN
+---
+
+The PGN (Parameter Group Number) is a number to identify a packet. The PGN
+is composed as follows:
+1 bit : Reserved Bit
+1 bit : Data Page
+8 bits : PF (PDU Format)
+8 bits : PS (PDU Specific)
+
+In J1939-21 distinction is made between PDU1 format (where PF < 240) and PDU2
+format (where PF >= 240). Furthermore, when using PDU2 format, the PS-field
+contains a so-called Group Extension, which is part of the PGN. When using PDU2
+format, the Group Extension is set in the PS-field.
+
+On the other hand, when using PDU1 format, the PS-field contains a so-called
+Destination Address, which is _not_ part of the PGN. When communicating a PGN
+from user space to kernel (or visa versa) and PDU2 format is used, the PS-field
+of the PGN shall be set to zero. The Destination Address shall be set
+elsewhere.
+
+Regarding PGN mapping to 29-bit CAN identifier, the Destination Address shall
+be get/set from/to the appropriate bits of the identifier by the kernel.
+
+
+Addressing
+----------
+
+Both static and dynamic addressing methods can be used.
+
+For static addresses, no extra checks are made by the kernel, and provided
+addresses are considered right. This responsibility is for the OEM or system
+integrator.
+
+For dynamic addressing, so-called Address Claiming, extra support is foreseen
+in the kernel. In J1939 any ECU is known by it's 64-bit NAME. At the moment of
+a successful address claim, the kernel keeps track of both NAME and source
+address being claimed. This serves as a base for filter schemes. By default,
+packets with a destination that is not locally, will be rejected.
+
+Mixed mode packets (from a static to a dynamic address or vice versa) are
+allowed. The BSD sockets define separate API calls for getting/setting the
+local & remote address and are applicable for J1939 sockets.
+
+Filtering
+---------
+
+J1939 defines white list filters per socket that a user can set in order to
+receive a subset of the J1939 traffic. Filtering can be based on:
+
+* SA
+* SOURCE_NAME
+* PGN
+
+When multiple filters are in place for a single socket, and a packet comes in
+that matches several of those filters, the packet is only received once for
+that socket.
+
+How to Use J1939
+================
+
+API Calls
+---------
+
+On CAN, you first need to open a socket for communicating over a CAN network.
+To use J1939, #include <linux/can/j1939.h>. From there, <linux/can.h> will be
+included too. To open a socket, use:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ s = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_DGRAM, CAN_J1939);
+
+J1939 does use SOCK_DGRAM sockets. In the J1939 specification, connections are
+mentioned in the context of transport protocol sessions. These still deliver
+packets to the other end (using several CAN packets). SOCK_STREAM is not
+supported.
+
+After the successful creation of the socket, you would normally use the bind(2)
+and/or connect(2) system call to bind the socket to a CAN interface. After
+binding and/or connecting the socket, you can read(2) and write(2) from/to the
+socket or use send(2), sendto(2), sendmsg(2) and the recv*() counterpart
+operations on the socket as usual. There are also J1939 specific socket options
+described below.
+
+In order to send data, a bind(2) must have been successful. bind(2) assigns a
+local address to a socket.
+
+Different from CAN is that the payload data is just the data that get send,
+without it's header info. The header info is derived from the sockaddr supplied
+to bind(2), connect(2), sendto(2) and recvfrom(2). A write(2) with size 4 will
+result in a packet with 4 bytes.
+
+The sockaddr structure has extensions for use with J1939 as specified below:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct sockaddr_can {
+ sa_family_t can_family;
+ int can_ifindex;
+ union {
+ struct {
+ __u64 name;
+ /* pgn:
+ * 8 bit: PS in PDU2 case, else 0
+ * 8 bit: PF
+ * 1 bit: DP
+ * 1 bit: reserved
+ */
+ __u32 pgn;
+ __u8 addr;
+ } j1939;
+ } can_addr;
+ }
+
+can_family & can_ifindex serve the same purpose as for other SocketCAN sockets.
+
+can_addr.j1939.pgn specifies the PGN (max 0x3ffff). Individual bits are
+specified above.
+
+can_addr.j1939.name contains the 64-bit J1939 NAME.
+
+can_addr.j1939.addr contains the address.
+
+The bind(2) system call assigns the local address, i.e. the source address when
+sending packages. If a PGN during bind(2) is set, it's used as a RX filter.
+I.e. only packets with a matching PGN are received. If an ADDR or NAME is set
+it is used as a receive filter, too. It will match the destination NAME or ADDR
+of the incoming packet. The NAME filter will work only if appropriate Address
+Claiming for this name was done on the CAN bus and registered/cached by the
+kernel.
+
+On the other hand connect(2) assigns the remote address, i.e. the destination
+address. The PGN from connect(2) is used as the default PGN when sending
+packets. If ADDR or NAME is set it will be used as the default destination ADDR
+or NAME. Further a set ADDR or NAME during connect(2) is used as a receive
+filter. It will match the source NAME or ADDR of the incoming packet.
+
+Both write(2) and send(2) will send a packet with local address from bind(2) and
+the remote address from connect(2). Use sendto(2) to overwrite the destination
+address.
+
+If can_addr.j1939.name is set (!= 0) the NAME is looked up by the kernel and
+the corresponding ADDR is used. If can_addr.j1939.name is not set (== 0),
+can_addr.j1939.addr is used.
+
+When creating a socket, reasonable defaults are set. Some options can be
+modified with setsockopt(2) & getsockopt(2).
+
+RX path related options:
+
+- SO_J1939_FILTER - configure array of filters
+- SO_J1939_PROMISC - disable filters set by bind(2) and connect(2)
+
+By default no broadcast packets can be send or received. To enable sending or
+receiving broadcast packets use the socket option SO_BROADCAST:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ int value = 1;
+ setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, &value, sizeof(value));
+
+The following diagram illustrates the RX path:
+
+.. code::
+
+ +--------------------+
+ | incoming packet |
+ +--------------------+
+ |
+ V

+
+TX path related options:
+SO_J1939_SEND_PRIO - change default send priority for the socket
+
+Message Flags during send() and Related System Calls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+send(2), sendto(2) and sendmsg(2) take a 'flags' argument. Currently
+supported flags are:
+
+* MSG_DONTWAIT, i.e. non-blocking operation.
+
+recvmsg(2)
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+In most cases recvmsg(2) is needed if you want to extract more information than
+recvfrom(2) can provide. For example package priority and timestamp. The
+Destination Address, name and packet priority (if applicable) are attached to
+the msghdr in the recvmsg(2) call. They can be extracted using cmsg(3) macros,
+with cmsg_level == SOL_J1939 && cmsg_type == SCM_J1939_DEST_ADDR,
+SCM_J1939_DEST_NAME or SCM_J1939_PRIO. The returned data is a uint8_t for
+priority and dst_addr, and uint64_t for dst_name.
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ uint8_t priority, dst_addr;
+ uint64_t dst_name;
+
+ for (cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg); cmsg; cmsg = CMSG_NXTHDR(&msg, cmsg)) {
+ switch (cmsg->cmsg_level) {
+ case SOL_CAN_J1939:
+ if (cmsg->cmsg_type == SCM_J1939_DEST_ADDR)
+ dst_addr = *CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
+ else if (cmsg->cmsg_type == SCM_J1939_DEST_NAME)
+ memcpy(&dst_name, CMSG_DATA(cmsg), cmsg->cmsg_len - CMSG_LEN(0));
+ else if (cmsg->cmsg_type == SCM_J1939_PRIO)
+ priority = *CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+
+Dynamic Addressing
+------------------
+
+Distinction has to be made between using the claimed address and doing an
+address claim. To use an already claimed address, one has to fill in the
+j1939.name member and provide it to bind(2). If the name had claimed an address
+earlier, all further messages being sent will use that address. And the
+j1939.addr member will be ignored.
+
+An exception on this is PGN 0x0ee00. This is the "Address Claim/Cannot Claim
+Address" message and the kernel will use the j1939.addr member for that PGN if
+necessary.
+
+To claim an address following code example can be used:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct sockaddr_can baddr = {
+ .can_family = AF_CAN,
+ .can_addr.j1939 = {
+ .name = name,
+ .addr = J1939_IDLE_ADDR,
+ .pgn = J1939_NO_PGN, /* to disable bind() rx filter for PGN */
+ },
+ .can_ifindex = if_nametoindex("can0"),
+ };
+
+ bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&baddr, sizeof(baddr));
+
+ /* for Address Claiming broadcast must be allowed */
+ int value = 1;
+ setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, &value, sizeof(value));
+
+ /* configured advanced RX filter with PGN needed for Address Claiming */
+ const struct j1939_filter filt[] = {
+ {
+ .pgn = J1939_PGN_ADDRESS_CLAIMED,
+ .pgn_mask = J1939_PGN_PDU1_MAX,
+ }, {
+ .pgn = J1939_PGN_ADDRESS_REQUEST,
+ .pgn_mask = J1939_PGN_PDU1_MAX,
+ }, {
+ .pgn = J1939_PGN_ADDRESS_COMMANDED,
+ .pgn_mask = J1939_PGN_MAX,
+ },
+ };
+
+ setsockopt(sock, SOL_CAN_J1939, SO_J1939_FILTER, &filt, sizeof(filt));
+
+ uint64_t dat = htole64(name);
+ const struct sockaddr_can saddr = {
+ .can_family = AF_CAN,
+ .can_addr.j1939 = {
+ .pgn = J1939_PGN_ADDRESS_CLAIMED,
+ .addr = J1939_NO_ADDR,
+ },
+ };
+
+ /* Afterwards do a sendto(2) with data set to the NAME (Little Endian). If the
+ * NAME provided, does not match the j1939.name provided to bind(2), EPROTO
+ * will be returned.
+ */
+ sendto(sock, dat, sizeof(dat), 0, (const struct sockaddr *)&saddr, sizeof(saddr));
+
+If no-one else contests the address claim within 250ms after transmission, the
+kernel marks the NAME-SA assignment as valid. The valid assignment will be kept
+among other valid NAME-SA assignments. From that point, any socket bound to the
+NAME can send packets.
+
+If another ECU claims the address, the kernel will mark the NAME-SA expired.
+No socket bound to the NAME can send packets (other than address claims). To
+claim another address, some socket bound to NAME, must bind(2) again, but with
+only j1939.addr changed to the new SA, and must then send a valid address claim
+packet. This restarts the state machine in the kernel (and any other
+participant on the bus) for this NAME.
+
+can-utils also include the jacd tool, so it can be used as code example or as
+default Address Claiming daemon.
+
+Send Examples
+-------------
+
+Static Addressing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This example will send a PGN (0x12300) from SA 0x20 to DA 0x30.
+
+Bind:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct sockaddr_can baddr = {
+ .can_family = AF_CAN,
+ .can_addr.j1939 = {
+ .name = J1939_NO_NAME,
+ .addr = 0x20,
+ .pgn = J1939_NO_PGN,
+ },
+ .can_ifindex = if_nametoindex("can0"),
+ };
+
+ bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&baddr, sizeof(baddr));
+
+Now, the socket 'sock' is bound to the SA 0x20. Since no connect(2) was called,
+at this point we can use only sendto(2) or sendmsg(2).
+
+Send:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ const struct sockaddr_can saddr = {
+ .can_family = AF_CAN,
+ .can_addr.j1939 = {
+ .name = J1939_NO_NAME;
+ .pgn = 0x30,
+ .addr = 0x12300,
+ },
+ };
+
+ sendto(sock, dat, sizeof(dat), 0, (const struct sockaddr *)&saddr, sizeof(saddr));
