I have thought about this: do you think the following solution is better - the difference between kmallocing and fixed is now between pointer to struct and u64 (ktime_t). struct dccp_request_sock { struct inet_request_sock dreq_inet_rsk; __u64 dreq_iss, dreq_isr; __be32 dreq_service; #define dreq_tstamp_echo dreq_inet_rsk.req.ts_recent ktime_t dreq_tstamp_time; }; The only other thing that is required is then to change the insertion routine to dccp_insert_option_timestamp_echo(struct sock *sk, struct dccp_request_sock *dreq, struct sk_buff *skb); /* when @dreq is NULL, @sk is used */ On another note I think that the CCID2 code could benefit from using such timestamps also, in particular for high-speed networks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
