tcp: set timestamps for restored skb-s
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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).
