There are two aspects. First, on the receive path, we reply to
unicast peer delay requests in kind. That is, if the peer sends a
unicast delay request, then reply with unicast, too, since this is
obviously what the peer expects.
Second, if configured, we transmit peer delay requests to the
specified unicast peer address.

ptp4l runs clockcheck on an incoming PTP message before checking its
domain number. If the time on another domain is different, then
clockcheck will trigger spurious synchronization faults.
This patch reorders the logic so that clockcheck only runs on messages
in the same time domain.

Richard Hill reported an occasional NULL pointer deference in
port_delay_request() when in hybrid mode.
if (p->hybrid_e2e) {
struct ptp_message *dst = TAILQ_FIRST(&p->best->messages);
msg->address = dst->address;
...
}
The code assumes that the p->best->messages list can't be empty
because:
The function, port_delay_request(), is called only when
FD_DELAY_TIMER expires. That timer is only set by the function,
port_set_delay_tmo(), which is called:
1. from process_delay_resp(), but only when state is UNCALIBRATED
or SLAVE.
2. from port_e2e_transition(), but only when state is UNCALIBRATED
or SLAVE.
Looking at handle_state_decision_event(), a port can only enter
UNCALIBRATED or SLAVE when it has a valid foreign master record,
ie p->best->messages is not null.
A port also only clears p->best->messages when it leaves
UNCALIBRATED or SLAVE, at which point the FD_DELAY_TIMER is also
cleared.
*However* the p->best->messages list *can* be empty if the
FD_ANNOUNCE_TIMER and the FD_DELAY_TIMER expire at the same time. In
this case, the poll() call indicates events on both file descriptors.
The announce timeout is handled like this:
case FD_ANNOUNCE_TIMER:
case FD_SYNC_RX_TIMER:
if (p->best)
fc_clear(p->best);
So then the port_delay_request() call de-references the null
TAILQ_FIRST message pointer.
This patch fixes the issue by re-ordering the timer file descriptors
within the polling list.

When masterOnly is true, the port always returns NULL when computing
its best foreign master. As a result, the port will never enter the
SLAVE state, and the clock will ignore Announce messages received on
that port.
This attribute is specifically called out in G.8275.1 and G.8275.2,
and it is implied by the "master only" mode G.8265.1. In addition,
this option will probably appear in the next revision of IEEE 1588.

On the transmit path, the port-level code calls msg_sots_missing()

In a ptp unaware network (like the telecom profile for frequency sync
G.8265.1), both the RTD and the PDV can be substantially higher than
in a ptp aware network. To achieve more accurate measurements, the
rate may need to be configured higher to get more data and increase
the chance of lucky packets.
In a combination of a high configured rate of delay_req and high
RTD/PDV in network, the risk that the response from the previously
sent delay_req have not been received before a new delay_req is sent
also become high. In that case, the need of storing more than the
latest sent delay_req arise.
This patch adds a queue for sent delay requests so several request can
be ongoing in parallel. When a delay response is received, a matching
request will be searched for in the queue and after processed removed
from the queue.
The stored delay_req will be removed if older than 5 seconds. Check is
made before a new delay_req is sent or announce receipt tmo expires.

when multiple other TLVs are present.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
The current code uses an ad hoc method of appending TLVs. When
constructing a message, the code computes the total PDU length by adding
the message size to the TLV size. By using the new API, this patch
simplifies message construction, letting each TLV add its own length
to the total.
As a result of the this change, the return value for the helper
functions, follow_up_info_append() and path_trace_append(), has
changed meaning. Instead of returning the TLV length, these functions
now provide an error code.
