Re: question on timestamps generated with "hcidump -t"

Hi Oliver,

> could somebody enlighten me, when exactly those timestamps are generated?

they are normally stamped when they enter our internal queues. So the
Bluetooth core stamps them when they come from the driver.

/* Receive frame from HCI drivers */
int hci_recv_frame(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        struct hci_dev *hdev = (struct hci_dev *) skb->dev;
        if (!hdev || (!test_bit(HCI_UP, &hdev->flags)
                                && !test_bit(HCI_INIT, &hdev->flags))) {
                kfree_skb(skb);
                return -ENXIO;
        }

        /* Incomming skb */
        bt_cb(skb)->incoming = 1;

        /* Time stamp */
        __net_timestamp(skb);

        skb_queue_tail(&hdev->rx_q, skb);
        queue_work(hdev->workqueue, &hdev->rx_work);

        return 0;
}
