Previously TCP skbs are not always timestamped if the transmission failed due to memory or other local issues. This makes deciding when to abort a socket tricky and complicated because the first unacknowledged skb's timestamp may be 0 on TCP timeout. The straight-forward fix is to always timestamp skb on every transmission attempt. Also every skb retransmission needs to be flagged properly to avoid RTT under-estimation. This can happen upon receiving an ACK for the original packet and the a previous (spurious) retransmission has failed. It's worth noting that this reverts to the old time-stamping style before commit 8c72c65b ("tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more carefully") which addresses a problem in computing the elapsed time of a stalled window-probing socket. The problem will be addressed differently in the next patches with a simpler approach.
