[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 23/40] tcp: refresh skb timestamp at retransmit time

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 10a81980fc47e64ffac26a073139813d3f697b64 upstream.

In the very unlikely case __tcp_retransmit_skb() can not use the cloning
done in tcp_transmit_skb(), we need to refresh skb_mstamp before doing
the copy and transmit, otherwise TCP TS val will be an exact copy of
original transmit.

Fixes: 7faee5c0d514 ("tcp: remove TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when")
