[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.8.13.11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7ed5c5ae96d23da22de95e1c7a239537acd378b1 ]

When the repair mode is turned off, the write queue seqs are
updated so that the whole queue is considered to be 'already sent.

The "when" field must be set for such skb. It's used in tcp_rearm_rto
for example. If the "when" field isn't set, the retransmit timeout can
be calculated incorrectly and a tcp connected can stop for two minutes
(TCP_RTO_MAX).
