skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags is derived from sk->sk_tsflags, possibly after modification by __sock_cmsg_send, by calling sock_tx_timestamp. The IPv4 and IPv6 paths do this conversion differently. In IPv4, the individual protocols that support tx timestamps call this function and store the result in ipc.tx_flags. In IPv6, sock_tx_timestamp is called in __ip6_append_data. There is no need to store both tx_flags and ts_flags in the cookie as one is derived from the other. Convert when setting up the cork and remove the redundant field. This is similar to IPv6, only have the conversion happen only once per datagram, in ip(6)_setup_cork. Also change __ip6_append_data to match __ip_append_data. Only update tskey if timestamping is enabled with OPT_ID. The SOCK_.. test is redundant: only valid protocols can have non-zero cork->tx_flags. After this change the IPv4 and IPv6 logic is the same.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
