OK, I didn't think of that, but... > Let's call skb_tx_timestamp() after driver specific tx-fixup hacks. ... the reason I put the skb_tx_timestamp() call before the tx_fixup is that these hacks often perform skb_push/skb_pull or any other kind of framing. This may result (at least in the case of the asix drivers) in perfectly correct PTP packets being not recognized as such by the packet filter. Can we do a check like this: if(skb) skb_tx_timestamp() tx_fixup() ?

That call is before the fixup on purpose, because some fixups add padding in front of the Ethernet payload, and this will spoil the PTP packet detection filter. I don't know why the skb can be NULL here. If that is really the case, then the correct fix is: if (skb) skb_tx_timestamp(skb); Thanks, Richard > > Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> > --- > drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c | 4 ++-- > 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c b/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c > index 7d60821..485be70 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c > +++ b/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c > @@ -1057,8 +1057,6 @@ netdev_tx_t usbnet_start_xmit (struct sk_buff *skb, > unsigned long flags; > int retval; > > - skb_tx_timestamp(skb); > - > // some devices want funky USB-level framing, for > // win32 driver (usually) and/or hardware quirks > if (info->tx_fixup) { > @@ -1075,6 +1073,8 @@ netdev_tx_t usbnet_start_xmit (struct sk_buff *skb, > } > length = skb->len; > > + skb_tx_timestamp(skb); > + > if (!(urb = usb_alloc_urb (0, GFP_ATOMIC))) { > netif_dbg(dev, tx_err, dev->net, "no urb\n"); > goto drop; > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

You said it. Can you please submit the fix suggested by Michael and myself?

This patch fixes the bug added in commit v3.1-rc7-1055-gf9b491e SKB can be NULL at this point, at least for cdc-ncm. Let's call skb_tx_timestamp() after driver specific tx-fixup hacks.
