I suggest you use netdev@ mailing list instead of lkml

Then, we probably need to clear skb->tstamp in more paths (you are
mentioning bridge ...)

See commit 8203e2d844d34af247a151d8ebd68553a6e91785 for reference.

Can you try :

diff --git a/net/bridge/br_forward.c b/net/bridge/br_forward.c
index 5372e2042adfe20d3cd039c29057535b2413be61..bd4fa141420c92a44716bd93fcd8aa3d3310203a

sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb
                skb_set_network_header(skb, depth);
        }

+       skb->tstamp = 0;
        dev_queue_xmit(skb);

        return 0;

Thanks.
