Sure, here it is.

Please Simon feel free to add your "Tested-by" signature

Thanks

[PATCH] tcp: clear xmit timers in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()

Simon Kirby reported divides by zero errors in __tcp_select_window()

This happens when inet_csk_route_child_sock() returns a NULL pointer :

We free new socket while we eventually armed keepalive timer in
tcp_create_openreq_child()

Fix this by a call to tcp_clear_xmit_timers()

[ This is a followup to commit 918eb39962dff (net: add missing
bh_unlock_sock() calls) ]
