introduce a new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER in the receive
path. User can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE to filter
out rx software timestamp report, especially after a process turns on
netstamp_needed_key which can time stamp every incoming skb.
Previously, we found out if an application starts first which turns on
netstamp_needed_key, then another one only passing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE
could also get rx timestamp. Now we handle this case by introducing this
new flag without breaking users.
Quoting Willem to explain why we need the flag:
"why a process would want to request software timestamp reporting, but
not receive software timestamp generation. The only use I see is when
the application does request
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE."
Similarly, this new flag could also be used for hardware case where we
can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, then we won't receive
hardware receive timestamp.
Another thing about errqueue in this patch I have a few words to say:
In this case, we need to handle the egress path carefully, or else
reporting the tx timestamp will fail. Egress path and ingress path will
finally call sock_recv_timestamp(). We have to distinguish them.
Errqueue is a good indicator to reflect the flow direction.
