Previously upon SYN timeouts the sender recomputes the txhash to try a different path. However this does not apply on the initial timeout of SYN-data (active Fast Open). Therefore an active IPv6 Fast Open connection may incur one second RTO penalty to take on a new path after the second SYN retransmission uses a new flow label. This patch removes this undesirable behavior so Fast Open changes the flow label just like the regular connections. This also helps avoid falsely disabling Fast Open on the sender which triggers after two consecutive SYN timeouts on 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.
