Please do not top-post on netdev mailing list.


I basically suggested double-checking which point in TCP could end up
calling tcp_internal_pacing()
while the timer was already armed.

I guess this is mtu probing.

Please try the following patch : If we still have another bug, a
WARNING should give us a stack trace.
