Subject: tcp: detect SYN/data drop when F-RTO is disabled
From: Yuchung Cheng <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 66555e92fb7a619188c02cceae4bbc414f15f96d ]
On receiving the SYN-ACK, Fast Open checks icsk_retransmit for SYN
retransmission to detect SYN/data drops. But if F-RTO is disabled,
icsk_retransmit is reset at step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert() (
under tcp_ack()) before tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(). The fix is to use
total_retrans instead which accounts for SYN retransmission regardless
the use of F-RTO.
