Subject: TCP minisock tcp_create_openreq_child() typo?

  Hi,

  While reading TCP minisock code I've found this suspiciously looking
code fragment:

- 8< -
struct sock *tcp_create_openreq_child(struct sock *sk, struct request_sock *req, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct sock *newsk = inet_csk_clone(sk, req, GFP_ATOMIC);

	if (newsk != NULL) {
		const struct inet_request_sock *ireq = inet_rsk(req);
		struct tcp_request_sock *treq = tcp_rsk(req);
		struct inet_connection_sock *newicsk = inet_csk(sk);
		struct tcp_sock *newtp;
- 8< -

  The above code initializes newicsk to inet_csk(sk), isn't that supposed
to be inet_csk(newsk)?  As far as I can tell this might leave
icsk_ack.last_seg_size zero even if we do have received data.
