I think TCP could call ip_append_data(). Here is possible call graph.

tcp_v4_rcv()
  -> tcp_v4_timewait_ack()
       -> tcp_v4_send_ack()
            -> ip_send_reply()
                 -> *ip_append_data()*

tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack()
  -> tcp_v4_send_ack()
       -> ip_send_reply()
            -> *ip_append_data()*

tcp_v4_do_rcv()
  -> tcp_v4_send_reset()
       -> ip_send_reply()
            -> *ip_append_data()*


Regards,
Hideo
