Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] tcp: convert icsk_user_timeout from jiffies to msecs
Date:   Tue, 17 Jul 2018 14:16:00 +1000
Message-Id: <20180717041602.31100-2-jmaxwell37@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This is a preparatory commit for an upcoming patch that improves the socket
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option accuracy. Implement Eric Dumazets idea to convert 
icsk->icsk_user_timeout from jiffies to msecs. To eliminate the 
msecs_to_jiffies() and jiffies_to_msecs() dance in future. 

There will 3 patches in this series. [net-next v1 2/3] will create a seperate 
helper routine called tcp_retransmit_stamp() as per Neal Cardwells suggestion. 
Finally [net-next v1 3/3] will implement a new routine called 
tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() to calculate the rto so that TCP_USER_TIMEOUT
is more accurate. As a result of the final patch it won't have the 
msecs_to_jiffies() and jiffies_to_msecs() dance that David Laight was concerned
about.
