Martin KaFai Lau 27942a1520 net: Handle delivery_time in skb->tstamp during network tapping with af_packet
A latter patch will set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp.
skb_clear_tstamp() will then keep this delivery_time during forwarding.

This patch is to make the network tapping (with af_packet) to handle
the delivery_time stored in skb->tstamp.

Regardless of tapping at the ingress or egress,  the tapped skb is
received by the af_packet socket, so it is ingress to the af_packet
socket and it expects the (rcv) timestamp.

When tapping at egress, dev_queue_xmit_nit() is used.  It has already
expected skb->tstamp may have delivery_time,  so it does
skb_clone()+net_timestamp_set() to ensure the cloned skb has
the (rcv) timestamp before passing to the af_packet sk.
This patch only adds to clear the skb->mono_delivery_time
bit in net_timestamp_set().

When tapping at ingress, it currently expects the skb->tstamp is either 0
or the (rcv) timestamp.  Meaning, the tapping at ingress path
has already expected the skb->tstamp could be 0 and it will get
the (rcv) timestamp by ktime_get_real() when needed.

There are two cases for tapping at ingress:

One case is af_packet queues the skb to its sk_receive_queue.
The skb is either not shared or new clone created.  The newly
added skb_clear_delivery_time() is called to clear the
delivery_time (if any) and set the (rcv) timestamp if
needed before the skb is queued to the sk_receive_queue.

Another case, the ingress skb is directly copied to the rx_ring
and tpacket_get_timestamp() is used to get the (rcv) timestamp.
The newly added skb_tstamp() is used in tpacket_get_timestamp()
to check the skb->mono_delivery_time bit before returning skb->tstamp.
As mentioned earlier, the tapping@ingress has already expected
the skb may not have the (rcv) timestamp (because no sk has asked
for it) and has handled this case by directly calling ktime_get_real().

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.
