Subject: tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 811230cd853d62f09ed0addd0ce9a1b9b0e13fb5 ]
When I added sk_pacing_rate field, I forgot to initialize its value
in the per cpu unicast_sock used in ip_send_unicast_reply()
This means that for sch_fq users, RST packets, or ACK packets sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets might be sent to slowly or even dropped
once we reach the per flow limit.
