Well, it does make sense. It seems we don't need to implement tskey
for this bpf feature...
Due to lack of enough knowledge of bpf, could you provide more hints
that I can follow to write a bpf program to print more information
from the skb? Like in the last patch of this series, in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/so_timestamping.c, do we have a
feasible way to do that?
Thanks,
Jason
