Menglong Dong 8cc1b4d81a net: tcp: fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0
commit e89688e3e97868451a5d05b38a9d2633d6785cd4 upstream.

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.

However, "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. So we double check the timeout with the duration of the
retransmission.

Meanwhile, making "2 * TCP_RTO_MAX" as the timeout to avoid the socket
dying too soon.
