The previous patches handled the delivery_time before sch_handle_ingress(). This patch can now set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp and also clear it with skb_clear_delivery_time() after sch_handle_ingress(). This will make the bpf_redirect_*() to keep the mono delivery_time and used by a qdisc (fq) of the egress-ing interface. A latter patch will postpone the skb_clear_delivery_time() until the stack learns that the skb is being delivered locally and that will make other kernel forwarding paths (ip[6]_forward) able to keep the delivery_time also. Thus, like the previous patches on using the skb->mono_delivery_time bit, calling skb_clear_delivery_time() is not limited within the CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to avoid too many code churns among this set.

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.
