From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 15:51:46 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tcp: switch tcp_clock_ns() to CLOCK_TAI base X-Git-Tag: for-linus-20181026~43^2~303^2~8 X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=72b0094f9182;p=linux-2.6-block.git tcp: switch tcp_clock_ns() to CLOCK_TAI base TCP pacing is either implemented in sch_fq or internally. We have the goal of being able to offload pacing on the NICS. TCP will soon provide per skb skb->tstamp as early departure time. Like ETF in commit 25db26a91364 ("net/sched: Introduce the ETF Qdisc") we chose CLOCK_T as the clock base, so that TCP and pacers can share a common clock, to get better RTT samples (without pacing artificially inflating these samples).
