The current tc-bpf@ingress reads and writes the __sk_buff->tstamp
as a (rcv) timestamp which currently could either be 0 (not available)
or ktime_get_real(). This patch is to backward compatible with the
(rcv) timestamp expectation at ingress. If the skb->tstamp has
the delivery_time, the bpf insn rewrite will read 0 for tc-bpf
running at ingress as it is not available. When writing at ingress,
it will also clear the skb->mono_delivery_time bit.
/* BPF_READ: a = __sk_buff->tstamp */
if (!skb->tc_at_ingress || !skb->mono_delivery_time)
a = skb->tstamp;
else
a = 0
/* BPF_WRITE: __sk_buff->tstamp = a */
if (skb->tc_at_ingress)
skb->mono_delivery_time = 0;
skb->tstamp = a;
[ A note on the BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS which can also access
skb->tstamp. At that point, the skb is delivered locally
and skb_clear_delivery_time() has already been done,
so the skb->tstamp will only have the (rcv) timestamp. ]
If the tc-bpf@egress writes 0 to skb->tstamp, the skb->mono_delivery_time
has to be cleared also. It could be done together during
convert_ctx_access(). However, the latter patch will also expose
the skb->mono_delivery_time bit as __sk_buff->delivery_time_type.
Changing the delivery_time_type in the background may surprise
the user, e.g. the 2nd read on __sk_buff->delivery_time_type
may need a READ_ONCE() to avoid compiler optimization. Thus,
in expecting the needs in the latter patch, this patch does a
check on !skb->tstamp after running the tc-bpf and clears the
skb->mono_delivery_time bit if needed. The earlier discussion
on v4 [0].
The bpf insn rewrite requires the skb's mono_delivery_time bit and
tc_at_ingress bit. They are moved up in sk_buff so that bpf rewrite
can be done at a fixed offset. tc_skip_classify is moved together with
tc_at_ingress. To get one bit for mono_delivery_time, csum_not_inet is
moved down and this bit is currently used by sctp.
