Fixed In Version: linuxptp-1.4-1.20140318git2b099c.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The delay timer wasn't reset when ptp4l was configured to select the delay mechanism automatically and P2P delay mechanism was selected. Consequence: ptp4l didn't make any peer delay measurements. Fix: The P2P timer is reset when P2P mechanism is selected. Result: Peer delay is measured correctly when ptp4l is configured to select the delay mechanism automatically.

Description Miroslav Lichvar 2013-09-23 13:46:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
When ptp4l is configured to use the Auto delay mechanism and it receives a P2P request when the E2E delay timer is not running, it will switch to P2P, but not make any P2P requests itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
linuxptp-1.3-1.el7

How reproducible:
easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run ptp4l master with P2P
2. run ptp4l slave with Auto
3. monitor slave log

Actual results:
ptp4l not making any clock updates

Expected results:
ptp4l reporting master offsets and making clock updates

Additional info:
This is fixed by upstream commit b366b79306f0d5d8c7da0ae10acdca2b01cb54fe.
