Alexey Kodanev 00355fa5bb tcp: setup timestamp offset when write_seq already set
Found that when randomized tcp offsets are enabled (by default)
TCP client can still start new connections without them. Later,
if server does active close and re-uses sockets in TIME-WAIT
state, new SYN from client can be rejected on PAWS check inside
tcp_timewait_state_process(), because either tw_ts_recent or
rcv_tsval doesn't really have an offset set.

Here is how to reproduce it with LTP netstress tool:
    netstress -R 1 &
    netstress -H 127.0.0.1 -lr 1000000 -a1

    [...]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
