[PATCH 3.12 08/19] tcp: fix SYNACK RTT estimation in Fast Open

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 18 2013 - 13:52:13 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bc15afa39ecc16f01c3389d15d8f6015a427fe85 ]

tp->lsndtime may not always be the SYNACK timestamp if a passive
Fast Open socket sends data before handshake completes. And if the
remote acknowledges both the data and the SYNACK, the RTT sample
is already taken in tcp_ack(), so no need to call
tcp_update_ack_rtt() in tcp_synack_rtt_meas() aagain.
