Subject: tcp: fix wraparound issue in tcp_lp
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a9f11f963a546fea9144f6a6d1a307e814a387e7 ]
Be careful when comparing tcp_time_stamp to some u32 quantity,
otherwise result can be surprising.
Fixes: 7c106d7e782b ("[TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion control")
