From 8c72c65b426b47b3c166a8fef0d8927fe5e8a28d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 20:30:39 -0700 Subject: tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more carefully liujian reported a problem in TCP_USER_TIMEOUT processing with a patch in tcp_probe_timer() : https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg454496.html After investigations, the root cause of the problem is that we update skb->skb_mstamp of skbs in write queue, even if the attempt to send a clone or copy of it failed. One reason being a routing problem. This patch prevents this, solving liujian issue. It also removes a potential RTT miscalculation, since __tcp_retransmit_skb() is not OR-ing TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->sacked with TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS if a failure happens, but skb->skb_mstamp has been changed. A future ACK would then lead to a very small RTT sample and min_rtt would then be lowered to this too small value.
