When retransmission on TSQ handler was introduced in the commitf9616c35a0("tcp: implement TSQ for retransmits"), the retransmitted skbs' timestamps were updated on the actual transmission. In the later commit385e20706f("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path"), it stops being done so. In the commit, the comment says "We try to refresh tp->tcp_mstamp only when necessary", and at present tcp_tsq_handler and tcp_v4_mtu_reduced applies to this. About the latter, it's okay since it's rare enough. About the former, even though possible retransmissions on the tasklet comes just after the destructor run in NET_RX softirq handling, the time between them could be nonnegligibly large to the extent that tcp_rack_advance or rto rearming be affected if other (remaining) RX, BLOCK and (preceding) TASKLET sofirq handlings are unexpectedly heavy. So in the same way as tcp_write_timer_handler does, doing tcp_mstamp_refresh ensures the accuracy of algorithms relying on it.

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.
