      net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets · cb9eff09
      Patrick Ohly 提交于
      User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
      Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
      separately for each field in the message because some of the
      fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
      User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
      and choose what suits its needs.
      
      When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
      and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
      to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
      associated with it.
      
      The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
      cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
      done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
      timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
      start_hard_xmit routine.
