Good point, thanks.
It must definitely not be part of SOF_TIMESTAMPING_MASK. My bad for
suggesting without giving it much thought.
The bit is kernel-internal. No need to even mention it in user-facing
documentation. But anyone reading net_tstamp.h might wonder what it
does.
It should not even be in a UAPI header, but in an internal one.
Probably include/net/sock.h, near SK_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP.
Maybe we can reserve bit 31 in u32 sk_tsflags. And if we ever have
to double that flag size, it can move up to 63, as it is not UAPI in
any way. This is a workaround to having a separate flags field in
sockcm_cookie.
And have a BUILD_BUG_ON if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_LAST reaches this reserved
region.
