Hi Stanislav,

I have a question about the placement of tcp_bpf_rtt() call in
tcp_rtt_estimator(). Why is the call made before the assignment

tp->srtt_us = max(1U, srtt);

How is the attached eBPF program suppose the get the new value?

Take a look at the way tcp_bpf_rtt is invoked. It gets mrtt_us
and srtt arguments. Those are passed via bpf_sock_ops args field.
See tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/tcp_rtt.c. Hope that helps!
