BPF program calculates a couple of latency deltas between each tx timestamping callbacks. It can be used in the real world to diagnose the kernel behaviour in the tx path. Check the safety issues by accessing a few bpf calls in bpf_test_access_bpf_calls() which are implemented in the patch 3 and 4. Check if the bpf timestamping can co-exist with socket timestamping. There remains a few realistic things[1][2] to highlight: 1. in general a packet may pass through multiple qdiscs. For instance with bonding or tunnel virtual devices in the egress path. 2. packets may be resent, in which case an ACK might precede a repeat SCHED and SND. 3. erroneous or malicious peers may also just never send an ACK.

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.
