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.
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.

This patch addresses a corner issue on timeout behavior of a passive Fast Open socket. A passive Fast Open server may write and close the socket when it is re-trying SYN-ACK to complete the handshake. After the handshake is completely, the server does not properly stamp the recovery start time (tp->retrans_stamp is 0), and the socket may abort immediately on the very first FIN timeout, instead of retying until it passes the system or user specified limit.
