Also, it would change the meaning of the flag as it seems some drivers actually use the SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS flag to check if they expect a timestamp. How about allocating the last bit of tx_flags for SKBTX_SWHW_TSTAMP? > Otherwise you may indeed have to call skb_tstamp_tx for every packet > that has SKBTX_SW_TSTAMP set, as you do.
