4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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().
