Value assigned to variable resend_at is overwritten before it can be used.

Fix this by removing the value overwrite as it seems that this is a
leftover code.

NAK.  Your fix will actually cause the code to break.

The resend_at value used for the timer must be based on the current time
(ie. jiffies in this case), so we can't simply remove that line as the
previously calculated resend_at value is a duration, not a time.

What you need to do is to instead modify the line you wanted to remove to add
'now' to the previously-computed value.


You mean something like the following?

--- a/net/rxrpc/sendmsg.c

-               resend_at = now + rxrpc_resend_timeout;
