From 51d161a0283aa6133931dbbe97825c4b4bc70e2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miroslav Lichvar Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 16:13:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] refclock: rework update of reachability again The recent rework of refclock reachability to better work with driver-specific filtering (PHC driver dropping samples with unexpected delay) introduced an issue that a PPS refclock is indicated as reachable even when its "lock" refclock is permanently unreachable, or its samples constistently fail in other sample checks, and no actual samples can be accumulated. This breaks the new maxunreach option. Rework the refclock code to provide samples from drivers together with their quality level (all drivers except PHC provide samples with constant quality of 1) and drop samples with quality 0 after passing all checks, right before the actual accumulation in the median sample filter. Increment the reachability counter only for samples that would be accumulated. This fixes the problem with refclocks indicated as reachable when their samples would be dropped for other reasons than the PHC-specific delay filter, and the maxunreach option can work as expected.
