I'm not sure, but maybe this patch (and also my original one) opens a new potential issue with timestamps.

If the timestamp is set at allocation time, this cancels setting the timestamp at delivery (by net_timestamp_check in, for example, netif_receive_skb_internal.) -> So it changes the behavior of timestamping (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/timestamping.txt?id=b953c0d234bc72e8489d3bf51a276c5c4ec85345) generally.

Hypothetical example: If timestamping is enabled by the user and there is a significant delay between allocation and delivery of a skb (early allocation in driver or something) the timestamp does not reflect the reception time anymore.

What do you thing about this?

best regards,
Manfred
