[ 61/75] tcp: fix double-counted receiver RTT when leaving receiver fast path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 18 2013 - 17:47:03 EST


3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit aab2b4bf224ef8358d262f95b568b8ad0cecf0a0 ]

We should not update ts_recent and call tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts() both
before and after going to step5. That wastes CPU and double-counts the
receiver-side RTT sample.
