tcp: do not leak non zero tstamp in output packets
Usage of skb->tstamp should remain private to TCP stack (only set on packets on write queue, not on cloned ones) Otherwise, packets given to loopback interface with a non null tstamp can confuse netif_rx() / net_timestamp_check() Other possibility would be to clear tstamp in loopback_xmit(), as done in skb_scrub_packet() Fixes: 740b0f1841f6 ("tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
