You're right, I missed the important point, thank you for pointing it. Among
retransmission related fields of 'tcp_sock', I think '->total_retrans' would
fit for this check. How about below change?

```
diff --git a/net/ipv4/tcp_input.c b/net/ipv4/tcp_input.c

*/
if (!after(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->ack_seq, tp->snd_una) ||
- after(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->ack_seq, tp->snd_nxt))
+ after(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->ack_seq, tp->snd_nxt)) {
+ /* Previous FIN/ACK or RST/ACK might be ignored. */
+ if (tp->total_retrans == 0)
+ inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer(sk,
+ ICSK_TIME_RETRANS, TCP_ATO_MIN,
+ TCP_RTO_MAX);
goto reset_and_undo;
+ }

if (tp->rx_opt.saw_tstamp && tp->rx_opt.rcv_tsecr &&
!between(tp->rx_opt.rcv_tsecr, tp->retrans_stamp,
```
Thanks,
