You mean something like the following?

--- a/net/rxrpc/sendmsg.c
+++ b/net/rxrpc/sendmsg.c
@@ -233,7 +233,7 @@ static void rxrpc_queue_packet(struct rxrpc_sock
*rx, struct rxrpc_call *call,
if (resend_at < 1)
resend_at = 1;

- resend_at = now + rxrpc_resend_timeout;
+ resend_at += now;
WRITE_ONCE(call->resend_at, resend_at);
rxrpc_reduce_call_timer(call, resend_at, now,
rxrpc_timer_set_for_send);
