    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 204/249] igb: clear out skb->tstamp after reading the txtime
    Date
    From: Vedang Patel <vedang.patel@intel.com>

    [ Upstream commit 1e08511d5d01884a3c9070afd52a47799312074a ]

    If a packet which is utilizing the launchtime feature (via SO_TXTIME socket
    option) also requests the hardware transmit timestamp, the hardware
    timestamp is not delivered to the userspace. This is because the value in
    skb->tstamp is mistaken as the software timestamp.

    Applications, like ptp4l, request a hardware timestamp by setting the
    SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE socket option. Whenever a new timestamp is
    detected by the driver (this work is done in igb_ptp_tx_work() which calls
    igb_ptp_tx_hwtstamps() in igb_ptp.c[1]), it will queue the timestamp in the
    ERR_QUEUE for the userspace to read. When the userspace is ready, it will
    issue a recvmsg() call to collect this timestamp. The problem is in this
    recvmsg() call. If the skb->tstamp is not cleared out, it will be
    interpreted as a software timestamp and the hardware tx timestamp will not
    be successfully sent to the userspace. Look at skb_is_swtx_tstamp() and the
    callee function __sock_recv_timestamp() in net/socket.c for more details.
