3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d upstream. I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface. 11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S 945476042:945476042(0) win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7> 20:28:58.502209 IP 127.0.0.2.23850 > 127.0.0.1.48245: S 3160535375:3160535375(0) ack 945476043 win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7> This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check() does not set skb->tstamp.
