f3ef033573 mptcp: fix bad accounting in __mptcp_subflow_push_pending()
If __subflow_push_pending() errors out we should avoid updating the

42064de57f mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change
The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data
transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could
try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation.

Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.

2b0f561f21 mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset
Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call
mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and
then try to hold the data lock again.

Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional
condition.

Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit
early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the RX queue at
reset time.

This avoids unneeded processing to check for available data -- calling
get_mapping_status() and more on a dying subflow -- but also in error
reporting and worker scheduling.

Note that we must consume the currently peeked skb before invoking
mptcp_dss_corruption to avoid consuming it again after the eventual
reset has freed it.

60404266ef mptcp: return sk_wait_data() errors from recvmsg()
Commit 5813022985 ("mptcp: error out earlier on disconnect") made
mptcp_recvmsg() stop when sk_wait_data() returns an error.  The error is
stored in err, but the function then jumps to a path which returns
copied.  When no data was copied, recvmsg() therefore returns zero and
reports a false EOF.

Store the result in copied, which is the value returned by the function.
This also keeps the usual partial-read result when data was copied before
the error.

A recvmsg() blocked in one thread reproduces the issue when another
thread disconnects the same MPTCP socket with connect(AF_UNSPEC).
Before this change recvmsg() returns zero; afterwards it returns -EPIPE.

b110f1dd6c mptcp: options: fix uninit-value in mptcp_write_data_fin
When sending a DATA_FIN without data, and because the DATA_FIN occupies
1 octet of the connection-level sequence space [1], it is then required
to add a DSS mapping with specific values.

If the checksum has been negotiated, it also needs to be computed, and
included in the outgoing packet, and thus the initial csum data needs to
be reset to 0 as well. This is no longer the case since commit
cfcceb7a39 ("tcp: shrink per-packet memset in __tcp_transmit_skb()"),
because the whole ext_copy structure is no longer zeroed by default.

This seems to be the only case where use_map is changed and set
afterwards, so initialising the csum field only in this case, along with
other fields for this specific case.

f968190c0b mptcp: pm: reset retrans_time when ADD_ADDR entry is reused
When an ADD_ADDR entry is reused, the timer is re-armed, because the
goal is to re-announce an ADD_ADDR, and eventually retransmit it if
needed.

In this case, the retransmission counter should be reset as well, so the
re-announced address gets its retransmissions back instead of relying on
what was left before, and possibly not being able to retransmit it.

f9f0068e88 mptcp: pm: userspace: fix address ID overflow
When all MPTCP address IDs (1-255) are exhausted in the userspace PM,
find_next_zero_bit() returns MPTCP_PM_MAX_ADDR_ID + 1 (256). This value
overflows when stored in the u8 field e->addr.id, resulting in ID 0
being stored and the entry being incorrectly added to the list.

ID 0 is reserved for the initial connection in MPTCP, so this overflow
can cause address conflicts.

Note: the in-kernel PM already has an 'endpoints == MPTCP_PM_MAX_ADDR_ID'
check in mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr() that returns -ERANGE before
reaching find_next_zero_bit(), preventing this overflow. So this fix only
addresses the userspace PM path.

Check the find_next_zero_bit() result against MPTCP_PM_MAX_ADDR_ID and
return -ENOSPC if all IDs are truly exhausted. Move the ID allocation
check before the memory allocation so that the error path does not need
to free the allocated entry.

ab36b1a809 mptcp: options: handle MPC data + csum reqd + no csum
Before this modification, a remote peer could send an MP_CAPABLE with
data, with the checksum flag set, but without adding the actual 2 bytes
of checksum. As a result, uninitialised bytes could be used for the
'csum' field.

That was not a critical issue, because this 'csum' field is only used to
compare with the expected one, if previously negotiated in the 3WHS.
Worst case, the checksum is likely wrong, a fallback is done without a
reject if the negotiation was done earlier. That's OK.

Yet, better to take the expected path with this case: only look at the
checksum flag for MP_CAPABLEs not carrying a data-len.

Such packet can be seen as a 3rd or 4th ACK. The RFC8684 mentions [1]
that the 3rd packet should have the checksum flag set. When an MPC + ACK
contains data, the checksum flag is redundant with the checksum field.
It is not clear what should be done for the 4th ACK, nor if the flag has
to be set if the checksum field is set.

Therefore, it seems fine to only look at the presence of the checksum
field, not to break the interaction with stacks that were not setting
both.

Note that linked to this checksum flag on the 3rd ACK, with the current
implementation, we can have a situation where the SYN packets have no
checksum flag, but the 3rd ACK has one, and this is the one that will be
taken into account. First, that's clearly not directly linked to this
patch, but Clashiko forced us to look at that. At the end, that seems
fine to act like that: yes that's not how the negotiation should work,
but being flexible without introducing side effects is also fine: fixing
this would mean increasing the complexity, and that's not worth it.

2ac7d6e620 mptcp: pm: kernel: drop pending ADD_ADDR when removing ID0
The in-kernel MPTCP path manager can leave a stale ADD_ADDR announcement
entry alive when removing the id 0 endpoint. This happens because the id 0
removal path does not tear down pending announcements, unlike the non-zero
id path.

When the PM later reselects id 0 after adding another signal endpoint, it
finds the stale anno_list entry and hits WARN_ON_ONCE(mptcp_pm_is_kernel())
in mptcp_pm_announced_alloc().

Root cause: asymmetry between removal paths.
- Non-zero id path: mptcp_nl_remove_subflow_and_signal_addr() calls
  mptcp_pm_remove_announced() to clean up.
- Id 0 path: mptcp_nl_remove_id_zero_address() skips cleanup entirely.

Fix by making the id 0 path symmetric: call mptcp_pm_announced_remove()
and decrement add_addr_signaled before queuing the RM_ADDR.

Subtle detail: signal endpoints are stored in anno_list with port 0, but
msk_local carries the connection's local port. In other words, entries
linked to ID0 paths should have port == 0. A follow-up patch will ensure
that. mptcp_pm_announced_remove() uses use_port=true for comparison. So
clear the port before the lookup.

e2ab913f68 mptcp: do not reschedule the RTX timer for fallback sockets
On fallback socket the retrans timer is a quite convoluted no-op, but
currently nothing prevents the MPTCP core to keep rescheduling it.

Additionally gate RTX timer reset to the msk not being fallen back to
TCP yet. To avoid adding multiple tests in fast-path, use a new flags
bit for such condition.

The RTX enable bit is clear at close time and set before the msk could
start retransmitting, with a couple of caveats:

- passive sockets inherit the bit from the listener msk; set the bit on
  such socket to avoid flipping it in the fast-path, even if the
  listener will obviously never retransmit.

- while fastopening (MPTFO), mptcp_sendmsg_fastopen still ends-up
  calling mptcp_connect via tcp_sendmsg_fastopen ->
  __inet_stream_connect(ssk->sk_socket), and the first subflow's
  sk_socket points to the msk one.

18666c73af tcp: use GFP_ATOMIC in tcp_send_active_reset()
tcp_send_active_reset() can be called from contexts where gfp_any()
(in tcp_disconnect()) or sk->sk_allocation (in __tcp_close() and
mptcp_do_fastclose()) evaluates to GFP_KERNEL, which includes
__GFP_FS and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

Allocating with GFP_KERNEL while holding the socket lock (sk_lock) creates
a lockdep dependency:
  sk_lock -> fs_reclaim

This causes false-positive lockdep circular locking warnings with storage
subsystems (such as nvme-tcp) that acquire socket locks in block I/O paths
and invoke tcp_disconnect() or close sockets upon teardown:
  set->srcu -> sk_lock -> fs_reclaim -> elevator_lock -> set->srcu

Active resets are small RST packet headers that should never
enter direct reclaim or block while holding socket locks.

Use sk_gfp_mask(sk, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) inside tcp_send_active_reset()
and remove its priority argument. This preserves __GFP_MEMALLOC access
for SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets, suppresses allocation failure warnings,
and aligns with other control packet allocations (e.g. tcp_send_fin(),
__tcp_send_ack(), tcp_xmit_probe_skb()).

b878dfdd12 mptcp: fix uninitialized local_id in syncookie MP_JOIN reconstruction
mptcp_token_join_cookie_init_state() restores remote_nonce, local_nonce,
backup, join_id, token and msk from the saved cookie entry when rebuilding
the request socket for a MP_JOIN 4th-ACK handled under SYN cookies, but it
does not restore local_id, even though the SYN path saved it.
subflow_ulp_clone() then reads that uninitialized field and stores it as
the joined subflow's address-ID. Because the request-sock slab is
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and not zeroed on allocation, the value is the stale
byte of a previously freed request socket, which an off-path peer can
influence by sending concurrent MP_JOIN SYNs. This corrupts the path
manager's id-based subflow bookkeeping for the connection.

Restore subflow_req->local_id from the cookie entry, as done for the other
fields.

3420c0fd7e mptcp: add per-event MIB counters for MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP resets
MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP (reset reason 1) is used as a catch-all for several
distinct error conditions across subflow setup, authentication, and
data-path validation.  The existing MPRstTx/MPRstRx counters only
track aggregate reset volume, making it difficult to diagnose which
code path is triggering subflow resets in production.

Add per-event MIB counters covering each MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP use site
that is not already covered by an existing counter, named after the
underlying event or condition rather than the reset action:

  MD5SigReset           MD5SIG enabled on listener (incompatible)
  MPJoinSynAckNoMPJoin  SYN/ACK missing MP_JOIN option
  MPJoinAckNoMPJoin     server-side ACK missing MP_JOIN option
                          (fallback path, MPJoin required)
  MPJoinAckNoCtx        server-side ACK with no subflow context
  MPJoinNoIdFound       MP_JOIN with a valid token but no PM local ID
  DssReset              data mapping invalid (also fires on
                          MAPPING_NODSS / EMIDDLEBOX path)
  MPJoinNotEstablished  JOIN attempted on a not-fully-established msk

MPJoinNoIdFound covers the second half of the no-msk MP_JOIN reset:
the existing MPJoinNoTokenFound (MPTCP_MIB_JOINNOTOKEN) only counts the
missing-token case in subflow_token_join_request(), while a JOIN that
carries a valid token but for which the path manager returns no local
id reaches the same MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP in subflow_check_req() uncounted.

The aggregate MPRstTx/MPRstRx counters are unchanged.

ea4eb2adb0 mptcp: honour configured min/max RTO in retransmit paths
The MPTCP-level retransmit timers (DATA_FIN retransmissions and the
fallback timeout) used the hard-coded TCP_RTO_MIN / TCP_RTO_MAX
constants, ignoring the tcp_rto_min_us and tcp_rto_max_ms sysctls.

Make them follow the sysctls instead: seed icsk_rto_min / icsk_rto_max
on the MPTCP socket from the per-netns sysctls in __mptcp_init_sock()
-- the msk does not go through tcp_init_sock(), so these fields would
otherwise stay zero -- and read them directly where the constants were
used:

- mptcp_set_datafin_timeout(): both the backoff cap computation and
  the resulting timer_ival. The two sysctls are validated
  independently, so rto_min > rto_max is a valid configuration; keep
  a max_t() guard so ilog2() is never called with 0.

- __mptcp_set_timeout(): the fallback when no subflow timeout is
  available.

The icsk fields are read directly instead of using the
tcp_rto_min()/tcp_rto_max() helpers: the MPTCP socket does not perform
routing lookups in these paths, so the rto_min route metric checked by
tcp_rto_min() can never apply here. The TCP_RTO_MIN_US /
TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket options are not supported by MPTCP setsockopt()
either; this can be revisited if they get supported on MPTCP sockets.

The remaining uses of TCP_RTO_MAX in net/mptcp/ctrl.c (default
add_addr_timeout) and net/mptcp/subflow.c (MP_FAIL timeout) are
intentionally left unchanged: they use the constant as a default
duration, not as an RTO bound on a retransmit timer.

extra_subflows is a u8 counter that can underflow if a decrement races

e468d37118 mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning
When moving incoming skbs in the msk receive queue and the latter
is above limits, prune it as needed quite alike what TCP is doing
at the subflow level. The main difference relies in the stop condition:
since MPTCP does not perform collapsing, it's better off dropping the
bare minimum to fit the (newer) incoming packet.

b1224c4b40 mptcp: enforce hard limit on backlog flushing
Currently a wild producer could keep the backlog flushing operation
spinning for an unbound time.

Since the previous patch, the amount of data present in the backlog is
hard-limited. Move the backlog len update at the end of the flush loop to
prevent it spinning forever.

Also, no need to splice back the remaining skbs list into the backlog, as
such list is always empty after each backlog processing loop.

e0e4d56b05 mptcp: explicitly drop over memory limits
Currently the enforcement of the rcvbuf constraint is implemented
when moving the skbs into the msk receive or OoO queue, keeping the
incoming skbs in the subflow queue when over limits.

Under significant memory pressure the above can cause permanent data
transfer stalls, as the skb needed to make forward progress can be
stuck in a subflow queue.

Over memory limits, drop the incoming skb, relying on MPTCP-level
retransmissions.

Note that fallback socket must perform the limit before the skb reaches
the subflow-level queue, as dropping an in-sequence already acked skb
would break the stream.

This is not a complete fix for the stall issue, as the drop strategy
needs refinements that will come in the next patches.

96d846e3e2 mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job
Currently the MPTCP core enforces that when MPTCP-level retrans timer
fires, at most a single dfrag is retransmitted. In some corner-cases, it
may be necessary to retransmit multiple dfrags, and the MPTCP socket
will need to wait multiple retrans timeout to accomplish that.

Remove the mentioned constraint, allowing to transmit multiple dfrags
per retrans period, as long as the scheduler keeps selecting subflows
for retransmissions and pending data is available in the rtx queue.
The default scheduler will transmit a dfrag per available subflow.

6cafe51e0f mptcp: move the stale logic out of retrans scheduler
This allow separating the stale logic invocation and the retrans
scheduler, and will simplify the next patch.

It's also a cleaner design as the retrans scheduler has currently
too many side effects. As a possible downside, the retrans work will
now traverse the subflows list additional times; that does not matter
much, as this is slowpath.

While at it, pick more accurate names for the involved helpers and
explicitly note that the per subflow stale data is under msk socket
lock protection.

The scheduler and the stale logic may observe different subflow
statues, as no subflow lock is acquired. This is intentional and not
harmful, worst case leading to slower retransmissions.

e00b63056f mptcp: fastopen: only mark MPTFO subflows with SYN data
Passive TCP Fast Open accepts a valid-cookie SYN even when it carries
no data. In that case the child socket's receive queue is intentionally
left empty.

mptcp_fastopen_subflow_synack_set_params() set is_mptfo before checking
for queued SYN data. That made data-less TFO SYNs hit a WARN and, if
the warning was non-fatal, left stale MPTFO state behind. The stale
flag could later trigger a state-confusion bug in
check_fully_established().

Only mark the subflow as MPTFO after confirming that an SKB was queued.
Return quietly when the receive queue is empty.

Note that mptcp_subflow_context's is_mptfo field is now not just about
subflows where the TFO was present, but about MPTFO subflow that
consumed SYN data. Only having a valid cookie but not carrying data is
not really "doing TFO".

efc33b5102 mptcp: pm: fix memory leak from alloc-during-teardown race
mptcp_pm_destroy() empties msk->pm.anno_list and
msk->pm.userspace_pm_local_addr_list under msk->pm.lock during socket
teardown, dropping the lock between the two.

A concurrent userspace PM genl ANNOUNCE on the same msk holds a sock
reference via mptcp_token_get_sock() and, in
mptcp_pm_nl_announce_doit(), calls
mptcp_userspace_pm_append_new_local_addr() and
mptcp_pm_announced_alloc(). Both take msk->pm.lock briefly to add to
their respective lists. Because the genl handler holds a sock reference,
mptcp_pm_destroy() may run on the same msk via mptcp_disconnect(), which
invokes mptcp_destroy_common() without dropping the sock refcount,
before the handler completes.

If the lock acquisitions interleave such that mptcp_pm_destroy() empties
a list first, the later alloc adds its entry to a list head that nothing
else iterates for this msk, and the entry leaks. kmemleak reports both
mptcp_pm_add_addr objects (from mptcp_pm_announced_alloc()) and
mptcp_pm_addr_entry objects (from
mptcp_userspace_pm_append_new_local_addr()) under sustained concurrent
ANNOUNCE + close load against the userspace PM.

Add an MPTCP_PM_DESTROYING bit in msk->pm.status, set by
mptcp_pm_destroy() under pm.lock before the lists are emptied and
checked under pm.lock by the alloc paths. Either the alloc takes pm.lock
first, in which case its entry is on the list when mptcp_pm_destroy()
frees it; or mptcp_pm_destroy() takes pm.lock first, in which case the
later alloc observes the bit and refuses.

a7aad5b69d mptcp: pm: fix data race in add_addr timer callback
The timer callback reads entry->retrans_times outside pm.lock to decide
whether to call mptcp_pm_subflow_established(). Since
mptcp_pm_announced_del_timer() can concurrently set retrans_times =
ADD_ADDR_RETRANS_MAX under pm.lock, a race condition exists.

I discovered this issue while studying the code. AI tools helped me to
verify the issue can potentially happen under race conditions.

Use a local 'retransmit' flag set inside pm.lock to capture whether
retransmission is still possible when the lock is taken. This allows to
call mptcp_pm_subflow_established() accordingly, and not depending on
the situation that can be different when checked outside the pm.lock.

b6ee361524 mptcp: avoid combining some incoming suboptions
Some MPTCP suboptions are mutually exclusive according to the RFC8684,
but also because in different places, the code doesn't expect some
combinations to be present. That's specially true for suboptions that
would be present twice, but with different attributes.

The new restrictions are the same as the ones applied on the output
side, with mptcp_write_options. The same rules can be reused with a
small fix: an MP_FASTCLOSE can be used with a DSS when the sender picks
this option [1], which is not the case on Linux. Here are the rules:

  Which options can be used together?

  X: mutually exclusive
  O: often used together
  C: can be used together in some cases
  P: could be used together but we prefer not to (optimisations)

  | Opt: | MPC  | MPJ  | DSS  | ADD  |  RM  | PRIO | FAIL |  FC  |
  |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
  | MPC  |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
  | MPJ  |  X   |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
  | DSS  |  X   |  X   |------|------|------|------|------|------|
  | ADD  |  X   |  X   |  P   |------|------|------|------|------|
  | RM   |  C   |  C   |  C   |  P   |------|------|------|------|
  | PRIO |  X   |  C   |  C   |  C   |  C   |------|------|------|
  | FAIL |  X   |  X   |  C   |  X   |  X   |  X   |------|------|
  | FC   |  X   |  X   |  P   |  X   |  X   |  X   |  X   |------|
  | RST  |  X   |  X   |  X   |  X   |  X   |  X   |  O   |  O   |
  |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|

The only difference is with the 'P': another stack could send and
ADD_ADDR with other suboptions (DSS, RM_ADDR), and this should be
allowed.

A few points of attention:

 - In theory, an MP_CAPABLE could be used with a RM_ADDR, but there is
   no reason to add it with a SYN. Note that even with a 4th ACK, it
   doesn't seem to be useful, except when IDs are known in advance via
   another channel. Better not to break that.

 - Now, combining both an MP_CAPABLE and an MP_JOIN will no longer
   result to a reject of the two options, but only the second suboption
   is ignored. That seems OK to do that for this unexpected error. At
   least now all inconsistent combinations are handled the same way.
   This could change later in next. This also means the explicit checks
   for having both MPC + MPJ in subflow.c will now be unreachable.
   That's fine, they will be removed in a follow-up patch.

 - In case of conflicting combinations, the extra suboption(s) is/are
   ignored: having such combinations either means the remote peer is
   buggy, or is evil. The simplest action is then taken in this case:
   stop processing the current suboption.

 - In mp_opt->suboptions, there is also a bit reserved to the checksum,
   which can be used in an MP_CAPABLE and a DSS. Each time a DSS option
   can be used in parallel with another option, the checksum can be set,
   so the verification is combined into a new OPTIONS_MPTCP_DSS macro.

 - An MP_CAPABLE ACK can carry a Data-Level Length, and an optional
   Checksum: they are the same as the ones found in a DSS, because a DSS
   cannot be used in parallel to an MP_CAPABLE. Similarly, even if there
   is room, a DSS cannot be used with an MP_JOIN.

133cca19d7 mptcp: fix BUILD_BUG_ON on legacy ARM config
The 0-day bot managed to find kernel configs that cause build failures,
e.g. when using the StrongARM SA1100 target (ARMv4).

On such legacy ARM architecture, all structures are apparently aligned
to 32 bits, causing build issue here. Indeed, on such architecture,
'flags' size is not equivalent to sizeof(u16) as expected, but to
sizeof(u32).

Instead, use memset(). It was not used before to ensure a simple clear
operation was used by the compiler. But at the end, it shouldn't matter,
and the compiler should optimise this to the same operation with or
without memset() when -O above 0 is used. So let's switch to memset() to
fix this issue, and reduce this complexity.

-> __mptcp_add_backlog(), under mptcp_data_lock()) could add a backlog
entry referencing the ssk while the cleanup loop was in progress. Such
an entry could be missed by the cleanup, or the concurrent list update
could corrupt the traversal, leaving skb->sk pointing at the ssk after
it is freed.

A later mptcp_backlog_purge() then dereferences the stale pointer,
triggering a warning in inet_sock_destruct() (ssk->sk_rmem_alloc != 0)
followed by a use-after-free in mptcp_backlog_purge().

Fix this by moving the backlog cleanup into __mptcp_close_ssk(), after
subflow->closing is set to 1 and while the ssk lock is still held,
serialized under mptcp_data_lock(). The cleanup runs only on the push
path (MPTCP_CF_PUSH), where backlog references accumulate; on other
teardown paths the caller already handles cleanup.

With subflow->closing set and mptcp_data_lock() held across the purge,
any concurrent mptcp_data_ready() either completes its enqueue before
the purge runs and is caught, or observes closing=1 and bails out. Once
mptcp_data_unlock() is reached, no new skb referencing the ssk can be
enqueued, so the cleanup is exhaustive.

Remove the unprotected traversal from mptcp_close_ssk() entirely.

9bc6d5e4ca mptcp: pm: userspace: fix use-after-free in get_local_id
In mptcp_pm_userspace_get_local_id(), the address entry is looked up under
spinlock, but its id is read after dropping the lock. A concurrent deletion
can free the entry between the unlock and the read, leading to UAF.

The race window is narrow. It was reproduced only with a locally
constructed stress test that repeatedly overlaps an MP_JOIN SYN with a
MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY request.

However, the KASAN report below confirms that the race is reachable:

mptcp_pm_allow_new_subflow() increments extra_subflows before
__mptcp_finish_join() on the passive MP_JOIN path.

In case of race conditions, the subflow is dropped without calling
mptcp_close_ssk(), so the counter is not rolled back.

Call mptcp_pm_close_subflow() when the join completion fails to

b2ff91b752 mptcp: only set DATA_FIN when a mapping is present
mptcp_get_options() clears only the status group of struct
mptcp_options_received; data_seq, subflow_seq and data_len are filled in
by mptcp_parse_option() exclusively inside the DSS mapping block, which
runs only when the DSS M (mapping present) bit is set.

A peer can send a DSS option with the DATA_FIN flag set but the mapping
bit clear. The parser then records mp_opt->data_fin while leaving
data_len and data_seq uninitialized. For a zero-length segment
mptcp_incoming_options() evaluates

	if (mp_opt.data_fin && mp_opt.data_len == 1 &&
	    mptcp_update_rcv_data_fin(msk, mp_opt.data_seq, mp_opt.dsn64))

which reads the uninitialized data_len and data_seq; KMSAN reports an
uninit-value in mptcp_incoming_options(). The stale data_seq can also be
fed into the receive-side DATA_FIN sequence tracking.

Record the DATA_FIN flag only when the DSS option carries a mapping, so
data_fin is never set without data_seq and data_len also being present.
data_fin is part of the status group that mptcp_get_options() clears up
front, so on the no-map path it stays zero and the zero-length DATA_FIN
branch is simply skipped. A DATA_FIN is always transmitted together with
a mapping (mptcp_write_data_fin() sets use_map along with data_seq and
data_len), so legitimate DATA_FIN handling is unaffected.

Move the pr_debug() that logs the parsed DSS flags below the mapping
block, so it reports the final data_fin value instead of the stale one
it would otherwise print before the assignment.

6ea199a938 mptcp: pm: avoid using del_timer directly
mptcp_pm_announced_del_timer() removes the matched ADD_ADDR entry (if
found) from the ADD_ADDR list only if check_id is false. That's
dangerous, and not clear, because it means the caller should be free the
entry only in some cases, and it easy to miss that.

Instead, make it static, and call it from mptcp_pm_add_addr_echoed,
which is the only other case where mptcp_pm_add_addr_del_timer should be
called with check_id set to true. Bonus with that: a second call to
mptcp_pm_add_addr_lookup_by_addr() can be avoided.

Note that instead of adding the signature above to avoid a compilation
issue because this helper is called before the definition of the
function, the whole helper is moved above where it is first called. Its
content is untouched, except the addition of the 'static' keyboard.

938490767e mptcp: pm: remove add_ prefix from timer
Similar to the two previous commits, using the 'add' prefix is
confusing, also confirmed by [1].

Now that the structure has been renamed to include 'add_addr' in its
name, easier to know the timer is linked to the ADD_ADDR, no need to
add the confusing prefix, or an unneeded longer one.

While at it, also update the ADD_ADDR timer helper to clearly specify it
is linked to ADD_ADDR, and it is not there to add a new timer.

7d4dacc8cc mptcp: pm: uniform announced addresses helpers
Similar to the previous commit, only using the 'add' or 'anno' prefixes
is confusing -- generally associated to the action of adding something,
or the Latin name for "year" -- and lack of uniformity.

This has been causing issues in the past, e.g. del_add_timer seemed to
suggest the goal is to delete a previously added timer.

Instead, use the mptcp_pm_announced_ prefix.

While at it, slightly improves some helpers:

- mptcp_lookup_anno_list_by_saddr: no need to specify what is used to do
  the lookup: mptcp_pm_announced_lookup.

- mptcp_pm_sport_in_anno_list: it doesn't just compare the port, but the
  whole address linked to the sublow: mptcp_pm_announced_has_ssk.

- mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list: it allocates one item of the list, not a
  whole list: mptcp_pm_announced_alloc.

23eeaad0d8 mptcp: pm: drop TCP TS with ADD_ADDRv6 + port
With TCP-timestamps (padded) taking 12 bytes and ADD_ADDR IPv6 + port
taking 30 bytes, the 40-byte limit for the TCP options is reached. In
this case, it is then not possible to send the signal.

To be able to send this ADD_ADDR, the TCP timestamps option can now be
dropped. This is done, when needed by setting the *drop_ts parameter
from mptcp_established_options. This feature is controlled by a new
net.mptcp.add_addr_v6_port_drop_ts sysctl knob, enabled by default.

It is important to keep in mind that dropping the TCP timestamps option
for one packet of the connection could eventually disrupt some
middleboxes: even if it should be unlikely, they could drop the packet
or even block the connection. That's why this new feature can be
controlled by a sysctl knob.

1c3e7e0439 tcp: allow mptcp to drop TS for some packets
With TCP-timestamps (padded) taking 12 bytes and ADD_ADDR IPv6 + port
taking 30 bytes, the 40-byte limit for the TCP options is reached. In
this case, it is then not possible to send the address signal.

The idea is to let MPTCP dropping the TCP-timestamps option for some
specific packets, to be able to send some specific pure ACK carrying >28
bytes of MPTCP options, like with this specific ADD_ADDR. A new
parameter is passed from tcp_established_options to the MPTCP side to
indicate if the TCP TS option is used, and if it should be dropped. The
next commit implements the part on MPTCP side, but split into two
patches to help TCP maintainers to identify the modifications on TCP
side. This feature will be controlled by a new add_addr_v6_port_drop_ts
MPTCP sysctl knob.

It is important to keep in mind that dropping the TCP timestamps option
for one packet of the connection could eventually disrupt some
middleboxes: even if it should be unlikely, they could drop the packet
or even block the connection. That's why this new feature will be
controlled by a sysctl knob.

Note that it would be technically possible to squeeze both options into
the header if the ADD_ADDR is first written, and then the TCP timestamps
without the NOPs preceding it. But this means more modifications on TCP
side, plus some middleboxes could still be disrupted by that.

In this implementation, an unused bit is used in mptcp_out_options
structure to avoid passing an address to a local variable. Reading and
setting it needs CONFIG_MPTCP, so the whole block now has this #if
condition: mptcp_established_options() is then no longer used without
CONFIG_MPTCP.

About alternatives, instead of passing a new boolean (has_ts), another
option would be to pass the whole option structure (opts), but
'struct tcp_out_options' is currently defined in tcp_output.c, and it
would need to be exported. Plus that means the removal of the TCP TS
option would be done on the MPTCP side, and not here on the TCP side.
It feels clearer to remove other TCP options from the TCP side, than
hiding that from the MPTCP side.

Yet an other alternative would be to pass the size already taken by the
other TCP options, and have a way to drop them all when needed. But this
feels better to target only the timestamps option where dropping it
should be safe, even if it is currently the only option that would be
set before MPTCP, when MPTCP is used.
