[PATCH] tcp: don't use timestamp from repaired skb-s to calculate RTT
From: Andrey Vagin
Date: Tue Aug 12 2014 - 05:45:56 EST
We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations
isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.
This patch adds the TCPCB_REPAIRED flag, which is included in
TCPCB_RETRANS.
Thanks to Eric for the advice how to fix this issue.
This patch fixes the warning:
