>Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net] igc: Fix RX HW timestamp reporting when NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is disabled
>
>When CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is deactivated, fetching RX HW timestamps from the NIC no longer works as expected.
>
>This occurs because disabling CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL disables the SKB NAPI mapping in __skb_mark_napi_id(). Consequently, get_timestamp() fails to perform its driver lookup, and the igc driver's struct net_device_ops::ndo_get_tstamp is never invoked.
>
>Instead, get_timestamp() falls back to use shhwtstamps(skb)->hwtstamp, a field that the driver has not populated.
>
>Fix this by populating the hwtstamp field with the correct timestamp in the default timer when CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is disabled.
