Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/4] bpf-timestamp: keep track of the skb when wait_for_space occurs
Date: Sat,  4 Apr 2026 23:04:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404150452.83904-4-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260404150452.83904-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

The patch is the 1/2 part of push-level granularity feature.

Tag the skb in tcp_sendmsg_locked() when wait_for_space occurs even
though it might not carry the last byte of the sendmsg.

Prior to the patch, BPF timestamping cannot cover this case:
The following steps reproduce this:
1) skb A is the current last skb before entering wait_for_space process
2) tcp_push() pushes A without any tag
3) A is transmitted from TCP to driver without putting any skb carrying
   timestamps in the error queue, like SCHED, DRV/HARDWARE.
4) sk_stream_wait_memory() sleeps for a while and then returns with an
   error code. Note that the socket lock is released.
5) skb A finally gets acked and removed from the rtx queue.
6) continue with the rest of tcp_sendmsg_locked(): it will jump to(goto)
   'do_error' label and then 'out' label.
7) at this moment, skb A turns out to be the last one in this send
   syscall, and miss the following tcp_bpf_tx_timestamp() opportunity
   before the final tcp_push()
8) BPF script fails to see any timestamps this time
