From a1ac9c8acec1605c6b43af418f79facafdced680 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin KaFai Lau Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 11:55:25 -0800 Subject: net: Add skb->mono_delivery_time to distinguish mono delivery_time from (rcv) timestamp 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 latter 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 patches 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 latter patch. A similar case in tcp_ipv6 can be done with skb_set_delivery_time() in tcp_v6_send_response().
