At least UDP / TCP stacks can now cook skbs with a tstamp using MONOTONIC base (or arbitrary values with SCM_TXTIME)
Since loopback driver does not call (directly or indirectly) skb_scrub_packet(), we need to clear skb->tstamp so that net_timestamp_check() can eventually resample the time, using ktime_get_real().

Fixes: fb420d5d91c1 ("tcp/fq: move back to CLOCK_MONOTONIC") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <will...@google.com> Cc: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soh...@google.com> --- drivers/net/loopback.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/loopback.c b/drivers/net/loopback.c index a7207fa7e451311aed13cdeb100e0ea7922931bf..2df7f60fe05220c19896a251b6b15239f4b95112 100644 --- a/drivers/net/loopback.c +++ b/drivers/net/loopback.c @@ -69,6 +69,10 @@ static netdev_tx_t loopback_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, int len; skb_tx_timestamp(skb); + + /* do not fool net_timestamp_check() with various clock bases */ + skb->tstamp = 0; + skb_orphan(skb); /* Before queueing this packet to netif_rx(), -- 2.19.1.568.g152ad8e336-goog
