From c14ac9451c34832554db33386a4393be8bba3a7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2016 23:08:12 -0400 Subject: sock: enable timestamping using control messages Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt. This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather tx timestamps. Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg. Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g., SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_* using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each write.
