Please put a space after "tcp:" in your Subject line prefixes, it looks
awful the way you've done it here.

This is overkill, just delete the second assignment.  Your version makes
the code look less elegant and also makes it harder to audit.

As a matter of fact, 
keepalive_time_when(tp) and keepalive_time_elapsed(tp) are different ;)

This is very slow path in TCP stack, so it should not matter a lot.
