skb->tstamp was first used as the (rcv) timestamp.
The major usage is to report it to the user (e.g. SO_TIMESTAMP).
Later, skb->tstamp is also set as the (future) delivery_time (e.g. EDT in TCP)
during egress and used by the qdisc (e.g. sch_fq) to make decision on when
the skb can be passed to the dev.
Currently, there is no way to tell skb->tstamp having the (rcv) timestamp
or the delivery_time, so it is always reset to 0 whenever forwarded
between egress and ingress.
While it makes sense to always clear the (rcv) timestamp in skb->tstamp
to avoid confusing sch_fq that expects the delivery_time, it is a
performance issue [0] to clear the delivery_time if the skb finally
egress to a fq@phy-dev. For example, when forwarding from egress to
ingress and then finally back to egress:
tcp-sender => veth@netns => veth@hostns => fq@eth0@hostns
^ ^
reset rest
This patch adds one bit skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is storing the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp.
The current use case is to keep the TCP mono delivery_time (EDT) and
to be used with sch_fq. A later patch will also allow tc-bpf@ingress
to read and change the mono delivery_time.
In the future, another bit (e.g. skb->user_delivery_time) can be added
for the SCM_TXTIME where the clock base is tracked by sk->sk_clockid.
[ This patch is a prep work. The following patch will
get the other parts of the stack ready first. Then another patch
after that will finally set the skb->mono_delivery_time. ]
skb_set_delivery_time() function is added. It is used by the tcp_output.c
and during ip[6] fragmentation to assign the delivery_time to
the skb->tstamp and also set the skb->mono_delivery_time.
A note on the change in ip_send_unicast_reply() in ip_output.c.
It is only used by TCP to send reset/ack out of a ctl_sk.
Like the new skb_set_delivery_time(), this patch sets
the skb->mono_delivery_time to 0 for now as a place
holder. It will be enabled in a later patch.
A similar case in tcp_ipv6 can be done with
skb_set_delivery_time() in tcp_v6_send_response().
