I like this series a lot, applied, thanks!

Next time please submit a seperate "[PATCH 0/4] xxx" posting.

If it has non-trivial content, I use the "0" posting as the
commit message of a merge commit when I apply your series.

What I did here was take the text:

====================
This patch series improve RTT sampling in three ways:
1. Sample RTT during fast recovery and reordering events.
2. Favor ack-based RTT to timestamps because of broken TS ECR fields
3. Consolidate the RTT measurement logic.
====================

and place it into that merge commit, removing it from the patch #1
commit message.

Thanks.
