Martin KaFai Lau 8672406eb5 net: ip: Handle delivery_time in ip defrag
A latter patch will postpone the delivery_time clearing until the stack
knows the skb is being delivered locally.  That will allow other kernel
forwarding path (e.g. ip[6]_forward) to keep the delivery_time also.

An earlier attempt was to do skb_clear_delivery_time() in
ip_local_deliver() and ip6_input().  The discussion [0] requested
to move it one step later into ip_local_deliver_finish()
and ip6_input_finish() so that the delivery_time can be kept
for the ip_vs forwarding path also.

To do that, this patch also needs to take care of the (rcv) timestamp
usecase in ip_is_fragment().  It needs to expect delivery_time in
the skb->tstamp, so it needs to save the mono_delivery_time bit in
inet_frag_queue such that the delivery_time (if any) can be restored
in the final defragmented skb.

[Note that it will only happen when the locally generated skb is looping
 from egress to ingress over a virtual interface (e.g. veth, loopback...),
 skb->tstamp may have the delivery time before it is known that it will
 be delivered locally and received by another sk.]

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 Restructured Text 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.
