tcp: clear tp->retrans_stamp in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()
Some applications were reporting ETIMEDOUT errors on apparently
good looking flows, according to packet dumps.
We were able to root cause the issue to an accidental setting
of tp->retrans_stamp in the following scenario:
- client sends TFO SYN with data.
- server has TFO disabled, ACKs only SYN but not payload.
- client receives SYNACK covering only SYN.
- tcp_ack() eats SYN and sets tp->retrans_stamp to 0.
- tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() calls tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
to retransmit TFO payload w/o SYN, sets tp->retrans_stamp to "now",
but we are not in any loss recovery state.
- TFO payload is ACKed.
- we are not in any loss recovery state, and don't see any dupacks,
so we don't get to any code path that clears tp->retrans_stamp.
- tp->retrans_stamp stays non-zero for the lifetime of the connection.
- after first RTO, tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() clamps second RTO
to 1 jiffy due to bogus tp->retrans_stamp.
- on clamped RTO with non-zero icsk_retransmits, retransmits_timed_out()
sets start_ts from tp->retrans_stamp from TFO payload retransmit
hours/days ago, and computes bogus long elapsed time for loss recovery,
and suffers ETIMEDOUT early.
