[ Upstream commit e89688e3e97868451a5d05b38a9d2633d6785cd4 ]
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), a window shrunk connection will be regarded as timeout if 'tcp_jiffies32 - tp->rcv_tstamp > TCP_RTO_MAX'. This is not right all the time.
The retransmits will become zero-window probes in tcp_retransmit_timer() if the 'snd_wnd==0'. Therefore, the icsk->icsk_rto will come up to TCP_RTO_MAX sooner or later.
However, the timer can be delayed and be triggered after 122877ms, not TCP_RTO_MAX, as I tested.
Therefore, 'tcp_jiffies32 - tp->rcv_tstamp > TCP_RTO_MAX' is always true once the RTO come up to TCP_RTO_MAX, and the socket will die.
Fix this by replacing the 'tcp_jiffies32' with '(u32)icsk->icsk_timeout', which is exact the timestamp of the timeout.
However, "tp->rcv_tstamp" can restart from idle, then tp->rcv_tstamp could already be a long time (minutes or hours) in the past even on the first RTO. So we double check the timeout with the duration of the retransmission.
Meanwhile, making "2 * TCP_RTO_MAX" as the timeout to avoid the socket dying too soon.
