Subject: tcp: fix potential underestimation on rcv_rtt
From: Wei Wang <weiwan@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9ee11bd03cb1a5c3ca33c2bb70e7ed325f68890f ]
When ms timestamp is used, current logic uses 1us in
tcp_rcv_rtt_update() when the real rcv_rtt is within 1 - 999us.
This could cause rcv_rtt underestimation.
Fix it by always using a min value of 1ms if ms timestamp is used.
Fixes: 645f4c6f2ebd ("tcp: switch rcv_rtt_est and rcvq_space to high resolution timestamps")
