This patch is addressing an issue in stable linux-4.19 only.
In linux-4.20, TCP stack adopted EDT (Earliest Departure
Time) model and this issue was incidentally fixed.
Issue at hand was an extra sock_hold() from tcp_internal_pacing()
in paths not using tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
Jason Xing reported this leak and provided a patch stopping
the extra sock_hold() to happen.
This patch is more complete and makes sure to avoid
unnecessary extra delays, by reprogramming the high
resolution timer.
Fixes: 73a6bab5aa ("tcp: switch pacing timer to softirq based hrtimer")

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.
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.
