Linux implements RFC6298 and use an initial congestion window of 1 upon establishing the connection if the SYN packet is retransmitted 2 or more times. In cellular networks SYN timeouts are often spurious if the wireless radio was dormant or idle. Also some network path is longer than the default SYN timeout. Having a minimal cwnd on both cases are detrimental to TCP startup performance. This patch extends TCP undo feature (RFC3522 aka TCP Eifel) to detect spurious SYN timeout via TCP timestamps. Since tp->retrans_stamp records the initial SYN timestamp instead of first retransmission, we have to implement a different undo code additionally. The detection also must happen before tcp_ack() as retrans_stamp is reset when SYN is acknowledged. Note this patch covers both active regular and fast open.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
