When I was trying to modify the tx timestamping feature, I found that
running "./txtimestamp -4 -C -L 127.0.0.1" didn't reflect the error:
I succeeded to generate timestamp stored in the skb but later failed
to report it to the userspace (which means failed to put css into cmsg).
It can happen when someone writes buggy codes in __sock_recv_timestamp(),
for example.
After adding the check so that running ./txtimestamp will reflect the
result correctly like this if there is a bug in the reporting phase:
protocol: TCP
payload: 10
server port: 9000
family: INET
test SND
USR: 1725458477 s 667997 us (seq=0, len=0)
Failed to report timestamps
USR: 1725458477 s 718128 us (seq=0, len=0)
Failed to report timestamps
USR: 1725458477 s 768273 us (seq=0, len=0)
Failed to report timestamps
USR: 1725458477 s 818416 us (seq=0, len=0)
Failed to report timestamps
...
In the future, it will help us detect whether the new coming patch has
bugs or not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
