Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] TCP: avoid to send keepalive probes if receiving
 data

> RFC 1122 says the following:
> ...
>   Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or
>   acknowledgement packets have been received for the
>   connection within an interval.
> ...
> 
> The acknowledgement packet is reseting the keepalive
> timer but the data packet isn't. This patch fixes it by
> checking the timestamp of the last received data packet
> too when the keepalive timer expires.
