Subject: tcp: refresh tcp_mstamp from timers callbacks
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4688eb7cf3ae2c2721d1dacff5c1384cba47d176 ]
Only the retransmit timer currently refreshes tcp_mstamp
We should do the same for delayed acks and keepalives.
Even if RFC 7323 does not request it, this is consistent to what linux
did in the past, when TS values were based on jiffies.
Fixes: 385e20706fac ("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path")
