Subject: tcp: refresh tp timestamp before tcp_mtu_probe()
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ee1836aec4f5a977c1699a311db4d9027ef21ac8 ]
In the unlikely event tcp_mtu_probe() is sending a packet, we
want tp->tcp_mstamp being as accurate as possible.
This means we need to call tcp_mstamp_refresh() a bit earlier in
tcp_write_xmit().
Fixes: 385e20706fac ("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path")
