Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 3/3] net: tcp: fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@...cent.com>

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. Meanwhile, using the later
one of tp->retrans_stamp and tp->rcv_tstamp as the last updated timestamp
in the receiving path, as "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.

v3:
- use after() instead of max() in tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out()
v2:
- consider the case of the connection restart from idle, as Neal comment
