> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v1 net-next] igb: Use an advanced ctx
> descriptor for launchtime
> 
> On i210, Launchtime (TxTime) requires the usage of an "Advanced
> Transmit Context Descriptor" for retrieving the timestamp of a packet.
> 
> The igb driver correctly builds such descriptor on the segmentation
> flow (i.e. igb_tso()) or on the checksum one (i.e. igb_tx_csum()), but the
> feature is broken for AF_PACKET if the IGB_TX_FLAGS_VLAN is not set,
> which happens due to an early return on igb_tx_csum().
> 
> This flag is only set by the kernel when a VLAN interface is used,
> thus we can't just rely on it. Here we are fixing this issue by checking
> if launchtime is enabled for the current tx_ring before performing the
> early return.
