The logic is similar to idpf_rx_hwtstamp, but the data is exported
as a BPF kfunc instead of appended to an skb.
A idpf_queue_has(PTP, rxq) condition is added to check the queue
supports PTP similar to idpf_rx_process_skb_fields.

RX flex desc fields are little‑endian.
You already convert ts_high with le32_to_cpu(), but test ts_low directly against the mask.
On big‑endian this can misdetect the bit and spuriously return -ENODATA.
Please convert ts_low to host order before the bit test.
See existing IDPF/ICE patterns where descriptor words are leXX_to_cpu()‑converted prior to FIELD_GET() / bit checks.
Also, per the XDP RX metadata kfunc docs, -ENODATA must reflect true absence of per‑packet metadata; endianness‑correct testing is required to uphold the semantic.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Initially when I read the reply, I
thought: "why not, lets add a leXX_to_cpu".
But now that I look closer to implement the change and submit v2, it
looks correct as written. ts_low is defined as a u8:
```
struct virtchnl2_rx_flex_desc_adv_nic_3 {
...
u8 ts_low;
```
So it should not be fed into any leXX_to_cpu() functions, no?
I also looked at other u8 members in this struct like `u8
status_err0_qw0` and `u8 status_err0_qw1`, and both are used in
existing code without a conversion. So it seems correct as written.
Can you reconsdirer?
If you insist some change is required, can you elaborate more on what
needs to be changed? There is no le8_to_cpu, unless a trivial one that
does nothing (one byte struct cannot be little or big endian).

Oh, yes. You are right. For u8 byte endianness has no sense. Sorry.

The logic is copied as verbatim from idpf_rx_hwtstamp:
static void
idpf_rx_hwtstamp(const struct idpf_rx_queue *rxq,
const struct virtchnl2_rx_flex_desc_adv_nic_3 *rx_desc,
struct sk_buff *skb)
{
u64 cached_time, ts_ns;
u32 ts_high;
if (!(rx_desc->ts_low & VIRTCHNL2_RX_FLEX_TSTAMP_VALID))
return;
cached_time = READ_ONCE(rxq->cached_phc_time);
ts_high = le32_to_cpu(rx_desc->ts_high);
ts_ns = idpf_ptp_tstamp_extend_32b_to_64b(cached_time, ts_high);
[...]
I assume that is incorrect and would need to be fixed too?

I think must be fixed.
