Subject: [PATCH net v1 1/3] net: introduce helper to resolve hardware timestamps from skb
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:16:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429091632.26509-2-kohei@enjuk.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429091632.26509-1-kohei@enjuk.jp>
Move the logic that resolves a hardware timestamp from an skb, including
late timestamp resolution via netdev_get_tstamp(), from net/socket.c to
a common helper.
Let's allow other networking code to reuse the same resolution path.
