commit 7ae18975
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4AFRJ?from=project-issue
CVE: NA

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

Previously TCP socket's retrans_stamp is not set if the
retransmission has failed to send. As a result if a socket is
experiencing local issues to retransmit packets, determining when
to abort a socket is complicated w/o knowning the starting time of
the recovery since retrans_stamp may remain zero.

This complication causes sub-optimal behavior that TCP may use the
latest, instead of the first, retransmission time to compute the
elapsed time of a stalling connection due to local issues. Then TCP
may disrecard TCP retries settings and keep retrying until it finally
succeed: not a good idea when the local host is already strained.

The simple fix is to always timestamp the start of a recovery.
It's worth noting that retrans_stamp is also used to compare echo
timestamp values to detect spurious recovery. This patch does
not break that because retrans_stamp is still later than when the
original packet was sent.
