Hi Greg, Eric, all,

I noticed this in stable-rc/queue and stable-rc/linux- for 6.1 and 6.6:

    net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:472:7: error: variable 'rtx_delta' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
                    if (rtx_delta > user_timeout)
                        ^~~~~~~~~
    net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:464:15: note: initialize the variable 'rtx_delta' to silence this warning
            u32 rtx_delta;
                        ^
                        = 0

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Miguel
