If BPF program is attached we'll timestamp all skbs? Am I reading this
right?

If the attached bpf program explicitly turns on the SK_BPF_CB_TX_TIMESTAMPING bit of a sock, then all skbs of this sock will be tx timestamp-ed.


Wouldn't it be better to let BPF_SOCK_OPS_TS_SND_CB return whether it's
interested in tracing current packet all the way thru the stack?

I like this idea. It can give the BPF prog a chance to do skb sampling on a particular socket.

The return value of BPF_SOCK_OPS_TS_SND_CB (or any cgroup BPF prog return value) already has another usage, which its return value is currently enforced by the verifier. It is better not to convolute it further.

I don't prefer to add more use cases to skops->reply either, which is an union of args[4], such that later progs (in the cgrp prog array) may lose the args value.

Jason, instead of always setting SKBTX_BPF and txstamp_ack_bpf in the kernel, a new BPF kfunc can be added so that the BPF prog can call it to selectively set SKBTX_BPF and txstamp_ack_bpf in some skb.
