A latter patch will postpone the delivery_time clearing until the stack knows the skb is being delivered locally. That will allow other kernel forwarding path (e.g. ip[6]_forward) to keep the delivery_time also. An earlier attempt was to do skb_clear_delivery_time() in ip_local_deliver() and ip6_input(). The discussion [0] requested to move it one step later into ip_local_deliver_finish() and ip6_input_finish() so that the delivery_time can be kept for the ip_vs forwarding path also. To do that, this patch also needs to take care of the (rcv) timestamp usecase in ip_is_fragment(). It needs to expect delivery_time in the skb->tstamp, so it needs to save the mono_delivery_time bit in inet_frag_queue such that the delivery_time (if any) can be restored in the final defragmented skb. [Note that it will only happen when the locally generated skb is looping from egress to ingress over a virtual interface (e.g. veth, loopback...), skb->tstamp may have the delivery time before it is known that it will be delivered locally and received by another sk.] [0]: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ca728d81-80e8-3767-d5e-d44f6ad96e43@ssi.bg/ Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
