Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] tcp: deduplicate TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when

TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when has different meaning in output and input paths.

In output path, it contains a timestamp.
In input path, it contains an ISN, chosen by tcp_timewait_state_process()

Its usage in output path is obsolete after usec timestamping.
Lets simplify and clean this.

Eric Dumazet (2):
  tcp: introduce TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_tw_isn
  tcp: remove TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when
