From b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 13:31:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface. 11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S 945476042:945476042(0) win 43690 20:28:58.502209 IP 127.0.0.2.23850 > 127.0.0.1.48245: S 3160535375:3160535375(0) ack 945476043 win 43690 This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check() does not set skb->tstamp.
