[PATCH net-next v2 2/2] trace: tcp: Add tracepoint for tcp_sendmsg_locked()
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Mon Apr 07 2025 - 09:44:58 EST
Add a tracepoint to monitor TCP send operations, enabling detailed
visibility into TCP message transmission.
Create a new tracepoint within the tcp_sendmsg_locked function,
capturing traditional fields along with size_goal, which indicates the
optimal data size for a single TCP segment. Additionally, a reference to
the struct sock sk is passed, allowing direct access for BPF programs.
The implementation is largely based on David's patch and suggestions.
