Fixes an issue where TX Timestamps are not arriving on the error queue
when UDP_SEGMENT CMSG type is combined with CMSG type SO_TIMESTAMPING.
This can be illustrated with an updated updgso_bench_tx program which
includes the '-T' option to test for this condition. It also introduces
the '-P' option which will call poll() before reading the error queue.
./udpgso_bench_tx -4ucTPv -S 1472 -l2 -D 172.16.120.18
poll timeout
udp tx: 0 MB/s 1 calls/s 1 msg/s
The "poll timeout" message above indicates that TX timestamp never
arrived.
This patch preserves tx_flags for the first UDP GSO segment. Only the
first segment is timestamped, even though in some cases there may be
benefital in timestamping both the first and last segment.
Factors in deciding on first segment timestamp only:
- Timestamping both first and last segmented is not feasible. Hardware
can only have one outstanding TS request at a time.
- Timestamping last segment may under report network latency of the
previous segments. Even though the doorbell is suppressed, the ring
producer counter has been incremented.
- Timestamping the first segment has the upside in that it reports
timestamps from the application's view, e.g. RTT.
- Timestamping the first segment has the downside that it may
underreport tx host network latency. It appears that we have to pick
one or the other. And possibly follow-up with a config flag to choose
behavior.
v2: Remove tests as noted by Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>
Moving tests from net to net-next
v3: Update only relevant tx_flag bits as per
Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>
v4: Update comments and commit message as per
Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

README
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.
