Once we set BPF_SOCK_OPS_TX_TIMESTAMP_OPT_CB_FLAG flag here, there
are three points in the previous patches where generating timestamps
works. Let us make the basic bpf mechanism for timestamping feature
work finally.
We can use like this as a simple example in bpf program:
__section("sockops")
case BPF_SOCK_OPS_TX_TIMESTAMP_OPT_CB:
dport = bpf_ntohl(skops->remote_port);
sport = skops->local_port;
skops->reply = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED;
bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set(skops, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TX_TIMESTAMP_OPT_CB_FLAG);
case BPF_SOCK_OPS_TS_SCHED_OPT_CB:
bpf_printk(...);

In this case it's impossible to clear timestamping flags from bpf
It cannot be cleared only from the last skb until the next round of
recvmsg. Since the last skb is generated and bpf program is attached,
I would like to know why we need to clear the related fields in the
skb? Please note that I didn't hack the sk_tstflags in struct sock :)
program, but it may be very useful. Consider providing flags from
socket cookie to the program or maybe add an option to combine them?
Thanks for this idea. May I ask what the benefits are through adding
an option because the bpf test statement (BPF_SOCK_OPS_TEST_FLAG) is a
good option to take a whole control? Or could you provide more details
about how you expect to do so?
Well, as Willem mentioned, you are overriding flags completely. But what
if an application is waiting for some type of timestamp to arrive, but
bpf program rewrites flags and disables this type of timestamp? It will
confuse application.
Thinking twice, clearing flags might not be useful because of the very
same issue though.
Thanks,
Jason
