The packets in the retransmit queue are headerless, the
header only gets added to clones of the retransmit queue
frames during the actual transmit.
And this question belongs on netdev not linux-net.

Thought that might be it. I presume there isn't any other residue of the
tcp options elsewhere, that one could look at when the packet gets
acknowledged? I'm particularly interested in the timestamp.

Oops, sorry.

Every time we transmit, the timestamp will be different.
We store the jiffies at transmit time in TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when,
so you can use that. This is the value we use to compute the
timestamp.
