Call skb_tx_timestamp() within can_put_echo_skb() so that a software tx timestamp gets attached on the skb. There two main reasons to include this call in can_put_echo_skb(): * It easily allow to enable the tx timestamp on all devices with just one small change. * According to Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst, the tx timestamps should be generated in the device driver as close as possible, but always prior to passing the packet to the network interface. During the call to can_put_echo_skb(), the skb gets cloned meaning that the driver should not dereference the skb variable anymore after can_put_echo_skb() returns. This makes can_put_echo_skb() the very last place we can use the skb without having to access the echo_skb[] array. Remarks: * By default, skb_tx_timestamp() does nothing. It needs to be activated by passing the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE flag either through socket options or control messages. * The hardware rx timestamp of a local loopback message is the hardware tx timestamp. This means that there are no needs to implement SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE for CAN sockets.
