[ Upstream commit 63cc357f7bba6729869565a12df08441a5995d9a ]
RFC 1337 says: ''Ignore RST segments in TIME-WAIT state. If the 2 minute MSL is enforced, this fix avoids all three hazards.''
So with net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337=1, expected behaviour is to have TIME-WAIT sk expire rather than removing it instantly when a reset is received.
However, Linux will also re-start the TIME-WAIT timer.
This causes connect to fail when tying to re-use ports or very long delays (until syn retry interval exceeds MSL).
packetdrill test case: // Demonstrate bogus rearming of TIME-WAIT timer in rfc1337 mode. `sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337=1`

// .. and another RST from peer. 31.1 < R 1002:1002(0) win 244 31.2 `echo no timer restart;ss -m -e -a -i -n -t -o state TIME-WAIT`
// third syn after one minute. Time-Wait socket should have expired by now. 63.0 < S 1000:1000(0) win 9200 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>
// so we expect a syn-ack & 3whs to proceed from here on. 63.0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>
Without this patch, 'ss' shows restarts of tw timer and last packet is thus just another pure ack, more than one minute later.
This restores the original code from commit 283fd6cf0be690a83 ("Merge in ANK networking jumbo patch") in netdev-vger-cvs.git .
For some reason the else branch was removed/lost in 1f28b683339f7 ("Merge in TCP/UDP optimizations and [..]") and timer restart became unconditional.
