[ Upstream commit a66b10c05ee2d744189e9a2130394b070883d289 ]
Yuchung Cheng and Marek Majkowski independently reported a weird behavior of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option when used at connect() time.
When the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is reached, tcp_write_timeout() believes the flow should live, and the following condition in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() programs one jiffie timers :
remaining = icsk->icsk_user_timeout - elapsed; if (remaining <= 0) return 1; /* user timeout has passed; fire ASAP */
This silly situation ends when the max syn rtx count is reached.
This patch makes sure we honor both TCP_SYNCNT and TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, avoiding these spurious SYN packets.
